DBasia.news – Barcelona experienced the worst match in their history in the European competition when they faced Bayern Munich. Barca came home with their heads bowed after conceding eight goals.
Barcelona lost with a striking score 2-8 when facing Bayern Munich in the 2019-2020 Champions League quarter-final match, at Estadio Da Luz, Saturday (15/8). Barcelona have conceded four goals apiece in each half.
Judging by the statistics, Bayern Munich did make more attacks. Robert Lewandowski and his friends created 26 opportunities throughout the match. Meanwhile, Barca only created seven opportunities.
Not surprisingly, two Barcelona goals scored through own goals from David Alaba (7′) and Luis Suarez (57′) are still not enough. Bayern Munich cannot be caught after scoring eight goals through Thomas Muller (4′, 31′), Ivan Perisic (21′), Serge Gnabry (27′), Joshua Kimmich (63′), Robert Lewandowski (82′), and Philippe Coutinho (85′, 89′).
Based on Opta Jose’s records, it was Barcelona’s biggest defeat in European competition. In addition, Barca have conceded eight more goals since the last 16 in the 1946 Copa del Rey against Sevilla.
Now, Barcelona have certainly failed to win any titles this season. Lionel Messi and his friends failed in LaLiga, Copa del Rey, and the Champions League.
In addition, this failure further threatened Quique Setien’s position as Barcelona coach. Before the match, many voices questioned the ability of the former Real Betis coach.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich strolled into the semifinals. In the last four, Robert Lewandowski and colleagues will await the winner between Manchester City and Olympique Lyon.
