Hans-Dieter Flick's team provided eight reasons why Catalan Barcelona will not win the Champions League this year - six more than Setien's team in return.

The first sensation of the quarterfinal stage of the main club European competition took place a day earlier, when the German RB Leipzig left behind the current draw Atletico Madrid (2: 1). After that, the Champions League moved into the second half of the bouts of this stage, where the concentration of "

In particular, at the end of the late Friday evening of the reporting week, one of the two clubs that reached the quarter finals, which already had the honor in its history to raise the cherished trophy for many, should have stopped its performance. Lisbon's Da Luz, home stadium of Portugal's Benfica, briefly became the home arena for Catalan Barcelona to face Bayern Munich.

Fans of the " At this, the fans of “Blaugranas” could only chuckle, remembering about the fights two years later, when at the same stage the Catalans secured themselves a serious start by winning the first fight (3: 0). It was a good time, the playoffs were played in two fights.

But the history of the current season for the Kike Setiena team was quite difficult. Barcelona lost everything in the domestic arena, and the only joy should have been performance in European competitions, but only on condition of concomitant victory in them. And then, the drawing of lots slipped the German grandee to the Catalans a stone's throw away from the final fight, which seriously hurt their ambitions. What can I say, if even in the odds from the bookmakers, the odds of Bavaria were estimated quite high. And it was exactly in favor of this that ease played in a two-legged duel with London Chelsea at the previous stage (3: 0 - away and 4: 1 - at home).

Thriller extravaganza expected the fans in the reporting match. The main role was played by the team of Hans-Dieter Flick. The " It all started with a mistake by the Catalans in the center of the field, which turned into Bavaria's exit to a counterattack through the left flank, after a serve from which Muller and Lewandowski twisted the mocking wall with the final blow of the German.

Barcelona in those minutes (we are talking about a value less than 10) even showed signs of life - Roberto, with a cross from the left flank, unexpectedly became an assistant for exactly hitting his goal in the performance of David Alaba. " Passions did not come to naught, and after the attack, the ball flew into the post to the right of Neuer, while serving from Messi from the right flank.

The teams exhaled, as did the fans, took a break for ten minutes, after which the German representative simply crushed his opponent. Ter Stegen made mistakes with frightening regularity, and the rivals collected successful rebounds, followed by aggravation with his failed removal. But, first, Roberto failed on the right flank, after which Perisic was brought out by the efforts of Gnabry to the left flank of the penalty area, from where he struck, unexpectedly for the goalkeeper, struck the bottom into the far corner.

Soon, Goretzka, who gained a luxurious physical form during the season, made an equally spectacular throw to Gnabry into someone else's penalty area from the central zone, and Serge put the Catalans in an extremely unpleasant position on the very edge of the abyss. It was then that Mueller crept up behind for the second time in this half, pushing the ball into the near corner after Kimmich's cross from the right flank. 1: 4, first half, and it was Lewandowski who hasn't gotten into the game yet. Something unthinkable was happening in Lisbon.

And exactly the same " And the word " Barcelona continued to pour in at the slightest hint of pressure on the other side from the opponents. Setien couldn't do anything about it. Were there any chances to rectify the situation?

The fifth ball could go into Ter Stegen's goal a little earlier than it was noted in the final protocol, but Lewandowski closed with his head Muller's serve from the left flank from a small offside position. Suarez managed to get into the time slot with another humiliating trick for Boateng. The Uruguayan removed the defender on the swing, after which he shot on the right post. And no, after this moment there were no " Rather, just a warm-up for Bayern at a low start before the final spurt.

Kimmich, Lewandowski and Coutinho (twice) - all of them shot, by and large, the empty gates of the Catalans after the verified attacks of their team. Bayern played as if against a low-class team from the second German Bundesliga - everything was so bad for Setien's charges. An absolutely black day for the whole of Spain, whose presence in European competitions is now indicated only by Andalusian Sevilla.

In the current Champions League, there is only one victor in its entire past history.. Bayern goes to the semi-finals where they will play against the winner of the Manchester City - Lyon pair. Barcelona's 2019/20 season officially comes to an end.
