Relentless!!!!
Messi’s last Barcelona game perhaps
Well, that was a boring 90 minutes.
Not a surprise, well still a surprise but looked at the teams before kick off and that s such a poor barca team.
Semedo's performance was exceptionally poor, stay well clear of him Neil!
Did you see how empty the stadium was by the end?
If this was 12-4 I don’t think anyone could have complained.
A ridiculous game and one I’ll remember for many years.
As soon as Arturo Vidal declared Barcelona to be “the best team in the world”, I thought that Karma would have the last say...
You reckon? They may beat Man City (Man City may beat them if they get past Lyon) but ‘murder them’? C’mon, Man City are a completely different kettle of fish to this lacklustre Barcelona side, they’ve done the double on a Real Madrid side that finished five points ahead of Barcelona. Bayern are a marvellous side but they won’t be sticking 8 on anyone else soon at this standard. It was a freak result last night, same as Germany battering Brazil a few years ago, results like these are very rare at this level that’s why they’re such a shock. If Man City get through you can bet your bollocks that Guardiola will have done his thorough homework on Bayern, they still have to get past Lyon yet though.
It was the biggest victory by any club in a single Champions League knock out stage game, headlines are stating ‘Bayern Create History’..... I’d call that a freak result. This time yesterday if anyone had forecast an 8-2 Bayern win later that day, I’d imagine most would have dismissed it as very, very unlikely and that that would be a freak result.
I don't think because it's historic that it's freak. Bayern have been thrashing teams all season in Europe. They'd scored 17 past spurs and Chelsea. This their goalscoring record compared to the all-time highs, in far fewer games:
45 Barcelona, 1999/2000 (16 matches)
41 Real Madrid, 2013/14 (13)
41 Liverpool, 2017/18 (13)
39 Bayern, 2019/20 (9)
36 Real Madrid, 2016/17 (13)
9 wins out of 9, and the record is 10.
Goals per game ratio over one goal clear of the next highest ever.
4.33 Bayern, 2019/20
3.15 Real Madrid, 2013/14
3.15 Liverpool, 2017/18
2.92 Barcelona, 2011/12
2.92 Real Madrid, 2011/12
