Uli Hoeness criticises Barcelona

Hoeness criticises Barcelona

Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness does not believe that Barcelona have a 'Plan B' when struggling in matches.

Bayern recorded a 1-0 win over Viktoria Plzen in the Champions League on Tuesday, booking their spot in the next stage of the competition as a result.

However, Hoeness has suggested that Barcelona would have struggled to pick up the three points last night.

"Last night showed the big difference between our game compared to Barcelona's," the 61-year-old told TZ.

"[Barcelona] have a Plan A which is perfect but they have no Plan B, as they showed in their two games against us [in the Champions League] last season.

"Pep [Guardiola] introduced [Mario] Mandzukic to the game and he made a big difference. He played with no striker, saw it wasn't working and realised Mario could change things."

Bayern knocked Barcelona out of the Champions League in the semi-finals last season.
