Crazy miss! Watch how Seferovic missed an empty net to give Barcelona hope in the Champions League

Barcelona’s match against Benfica Lisbon was extremely important for the Catalans. A win would surely send them to the knockout stage, a loss or a draw would push them to the edge of the abyss. And that is exactly what happened.

A terrible start in the Champions League group stage has now issued Barcelona with an invoice. After 0:3 losses to Bayern and Benfica, the Blaugranas had to hit the ground running immediately, which they did with two close wins over Dynamo Kiev. But the draw with Benfica didn’t improve anything.

Barcelona have to beat Bayern Munich in the last round. At the moment, they have two points more than Benfica, but the Portuguese are expected to take their home game with Dynamo Kiev by three points. Even a draw in Munich would not be enough for the Catalans, as the Lisbon team has better games against each other.

However, striker Haris Seferovic could improve the situation. Now Benfica just need to beat Kiev and Barcelona didn’t beat Bayern, but for the Portuguese a draw in the last match could have been enough. They would have had to win at Camp Nou, which they came incredibly close to doing.

Dembélé’s shot was cleared by a Benfica defender in the 93rd minute and the visitors launched a swift counter-attack. They were chasing a 2-on-1 in the Barcelona half when Seferovic got the ball and was all alone in front of ter Stegen. He cleverly outmuscled him and was all alone in front of an empty net.

But he got caught out by a sliding García and missed the empty net. While he had a sea of time and the Barcelona stopper on the ground, he could have flicked over him or passed to a teammate for a completely empty goal. Seferovic, however, completely failed.

Thus, the Swiss striker still gave Barcelona a chance to survive in the Champions League. The latter, however, must beat Bayern Munich at the Alianz Arena, which will be a tall order. The score from the last two games is 11-2 to Bayern…
