Thiago scored both of Barcelonas goals with the first coming four minutes before half-time when the Spain under-21 international headed home from six yards. Thiago was unchallenged and had the simple task of placing the ball past Bayern Munichs goakkeeper Jorg Butt.Munichs best chance to equalise was with just over 15 minutes remaining when Jerome Boateng hit a first-time volley from 25 yards out but it was well saved by Barcelonas second-choice goalkeeper Juan Manuel Pinto.And a minute later Barcelona put the result beyond doubt when Thiago scored a superb second goal. The 20-year-old midfielder played a one-two with Armando before curling a shot past Butt into the net from just outside the penalty area.Barcelona now travel to the United States where they will play Manchester United in Washington on Sunday.
