Cazorla found himself in two pristine chances to score against Bayern Munich. The first one involved a brilliant flick-on pass by Olivier Giroud. Cazorla had only Manuel Neuer to beat as the defense was baffled. Unfortunately, Cazorla’s tame attempt was turned away by Neuer with ease.

The second was more embarrassing. Cazorla found himself waiting on a perfect ball into the box that he was going to take a hack at. Hacking is the best very to describe it. The Spaniard kicked it straight up and received mocking applause from the crowd.

Cazorla has not scored this year. Last year he scored seven times. Six were penalties.

The midfielder must learn how to score because he is turning into a liability in front of goal.
