Barcelona's Neymar struck twice to put the Spanish side in the
Champions League final despite a 3-2 loss at Bayern Munich on Tuesday as
they progressed 5-3 on aggregate and will face Real Madrid or Juventus
next month.
The tricky Brazil forward's double in 14 first-half
minutes killed off the hosts' slim chances following the Spanish side's
3-0 first leg win at the Nou Camp last week over their former coach Pep
Guardiola's team.
The Spaniards are now one victory away from
triumphing in each of the three titles they are chasing including a
domestic league and Cup double and the Champions League where they will
play in the showpiece game in Berlin on June 6.
Neymar was twice picked out by striker Luis Suarez, after Bayern's
seventh minute lead through Medhi Benatia had briefly reignited the
Germans' hopes.
"As a player you always believe and we had incredible support." said
Bayern captain Philipp Lahm. "We gave everything and showed the will.
Maybe the last two minutes in Barcelona cost us dearly (when they
conceded the third goal)."
