One of the most remarkable results in Champions League history ends with Bayern putting eight past Barca.
Muller and Coutinho, the latter still a Barca player, each got two, while there were also goals for Perisic, Gnabry, Kimmich and Lewandowski.
Alaba’s own goal actually levelled the game at an early stage, but Suarez’s second-half strike was a mere consolation. This was a complete humbling for one of the biggest clubs in world football.
Bavarians march on. They will face Manchester City or Lyon in the semis and must surely back themselves to clinch a treble now. The Catalan coach, Quique Setien’s future looks extremely uncertain. His team completely capitulated.
Bayern Munich were lethal, ruthless and fabulous. Tactically better. Physically sharper. Better organised. They are a joy to watch, and must be a nightmare to play against.
