Bayer Leverkusen Vs. Barcelona, 2012 UEFA Champions League: Still Boring

Stay connected with SB Nation

Perhaps I've just been watching the same five minutes of this game over and over again. Surely that makes more sense than this match just being a cavalcade of mediocrity from two quite good teams. To summarise what I've seen of what's supposedly half an hour of football:

Barcelona have the ball at the back. They then play it forward where Bayer Leverkusen's line of five does a fine imitation of the Maginot Line in being completely bypassed. Eventually something goes slightly wrong - sloppy play, offside, an unlucky bounce, Daniel Schwaab getting involved - and Bayer Leverkusen get the ball. They then lose it inside their own half within about three touches, because they can't pass worth beans.

Has anything else happened? Am I stuck in a weird time loop missing an otherwise excellent match? Please advise, because I think I can get time off for being the victim of space-time's rather fickle warp and weft.
