Just my opinion, but really did you see him try to get the team moving or take charge on the pitch, he didn't even (that I noticed) talk to the referee. He did wave his arms around at one point when he was fouled to be fair. I don't want to get into the old Ronaldo v Messi thing again but Ronaldo wouldn't have been as invisible. He was hiding on the pitch. When at his best he always appears to be in space and available to take the ball, last night he was uninvolved. Now whether that is a symptom of his lack of belief in the coach and the political goings on at Barca I have no way of knowing but he did not do any "captaining" last night.
I don't expect him to save them against a team like Bayern but he did not perform well and absolutely should be criticised along with the rest of the team for it.
