Almost 22 years have passed since this recording. You see: Bayern Munich's Hasan Salihamidzic and the then striker Giovane Elber. Both celebrate the winning goal to make it 2-1 at FC Barcelona. Bayern finished first in Group D, while Barcelona were eliminated third. In the final, Munich lost dramatically to the runners-up at the time: Manchester United. When Bayern Munich meets FC Barcelona again in the quarter-finals of the Champions League (9 p.m., live ticker SPIEGEL.de; TV: Sky), Salihamidzic will be there again. Then, however, as the sports director of Munich.

Hello, my name is Pep Guardiola and I'm about to teach you a lesson. Jürgen Klinsmanns Bayern experienced one of the greatest humiliations in the club's history in April 2009. Lionel Messi and colleagues dismantled FCB 4-0 in the first half, Klinsmann's tenure came to an end after the game, Guardiola won the Champions League title seven weeks later. The 4-0 gala had a bad aftertaste for him, however: After just 20 minutes, he was sent to the stands because of a complaint.

Messi was the paramount player that memorable evening. Two goals and an assist stood for him against a completely overwhelmed Bayern defense, consisting of Christian Lell, Breno, Martin Demichelis and Massimo Oddo.

The 0: 4 from the first leg could not be made up for Bayern in the second leg. Since Lucio and Philipp Lahm strengthened the defensive again, they only conceded one goal, offensively only Franck Ribéry could score a goal. 0: 4, 1: 1 - out for Bayern in the quarter-finals.

The Klinsmann year was also a given away for Ribéry. Out in the quarterfinals, problems in the league. FC Barcelona seemed hurrying. At that time nobody would have expected that the next meeting would be one of the greatest triumphs in Bayern history.

Without Messi and thus without hope of a football miracle, Barcelona went into the second leg - and lost again 3-0. It should be the last home defeat for the Catalans in the Champions League to this day. The club is now undefeated at home in the premier class for 36 games in a row.

Jupp Heynckes cheered (left), Tito Vilanova can only watch passed out. The duel was already overshadowed by Vilanova's cancer. In May 2013 Bayern won the title 2-1 against Dortmund, and Vilanova resigned in July. He died in spring 2014 at the age of 45.

In the semi-finals of the 2014/2015 season, the two teams met for the last time so far. Guardiola was now Bayern coach and held a 0-0 for a long time with a weakened team in the first leg. Then Messi (77th minute and 80th) and Neymar (90th + 4) made it 3-0 late.

When the score was 2-0 in stoppage time, he was allowed to counterattack and possibly achieve the decisive 3-0 in this duel - Neymar could hardly believe his luck.

This 3-0 defeat was also a defeat of his tactics: Instead of putting his hopes on the second leg after the 0-1 win, Guardiola let his team play along - and was severely punished for it.

Bayern won 3-2 in the second leg, but that was not enough for them to advance. The FC Barcelona got the handle pot, the Munich had to wait for a title. Five Bayern players from the starting XI could still be there in 2020: Robert Lewandowksi (r.), Müller Thiago, Jérôme Boateng and Manuel Neuer.
