The Barça debacle unfolded in the worst possible way, beaten and beaten up by Bayern, incapable of German football and its momentum, overwhelmed by the 2nd to at the 90th minute, the image of a small team, a negative image of their size.

Bayern Munich struck the chronicle of a death that had been announced Barça in a devastating way. "
