UEFA champions league 2020 barcelona vs BAYERN highlights bayern munich progressed to the semi-final stage of the uefa champions league after defeating barcelona 8-2 on friday at the estadio da las in lisbon bayern munich sent out an emphatic and ominous message to their champions league rivals with an absolute demolition of fellow european heavyweights barcelona in a gloriously chaotic and utterly one-sided quarter-final tie in lisbon despite taking an early lead through thomas muller buying conceded within the seventh minute through a david alabama goal by the 31st minute they were leading the catalan club by four to one after goals in quick succession from ivan perisic serge nabori and muller again in the second half although suarez cut the deficit a bit with a left-footed finish by an inflicted pain on barcelona again joshua kimmick and robert lewandowski scored from inside the box before philippe coutinho scored two in the final minutes of the game the high-pressing energetic and ruthless german champions were on a different level to their spanish rivals as they have been for pretty much every opponent they have faced in europe this season and in every competition since football restarted in june they scored four times in the first half added another quartet in the second and could easily have netted more against the shell shocked and shambolic barker side whose defensive errors were too numerous to recount and who now have a new and embarrassing record defeat in european competition to their name buying were not entirely infallible though with barca’s forward players inevitably led by lionel messi and wu suarez regularly finding space in behind to cause problems at test moonwell noir in a dizzyingly mad cap opening 10 minutes thomas muller fired beyond ahead following a one-two with robert lewandowski and david alaba wildly sliced a jordi albacross into his own net to restore parity before suarez was denied by neuer and messi hit the post with a curling cross for a pack box the following 22 minutes took the game away from barca with ivan perisic smashing in a deflected second for buying before serge nabori finished off a delightful ball over the top from leon goretzka and muller poked in his second at the near post a neat turn and finish from suarez after the break gave the spanish side hope but this was snuffed out by arguably the pick of the goals a joshua kimmick’s side foot finish following some stunning skill and speed and excellent delivery from alfonso davies robert lewandowski headed his 14th champions league goal in just eight games before salt was poured into barca’s deep wounds for league coutinho on loan from the spanish side netted a seventh and eighth via close range finishes after coming off the bench fine are by far the most decorated side left in the competition having won the european cup champions league on five occasions most recently in 2013 and look comfortably the strongest left in this season’s tournament they will find out their semi-final opponent on saturday when england’s last remaining challenger manchester city face french side lyon
