Barcelona signed off from their most awful Champions League crusade in twenty years on Wednesday, as one more complete loss because of Bayern Munich secured elimination at the group stage.
The Catalans went into their last game fighting Benfica for the second spot in Group E and realizing they may well have to pursue an outcome in the Allianz Arena.
However, Bayern scarcely split perspiration in taking up Xavi’s men, while the Portuguese side took the important three focuses to send them to the last 16 as runners-up behind Bayern.
In the second half Barça proceeded to attempt to attack without a lot of progress, and Bayern got all that they needed at whatever point they had the ball.
Sané botched an amazing chance only two yards from goal only five minutes into the period, and after 10 minutes Jamal Musiala made it 3-0 with a tap-in after an incredible show and help to Alphonso Davies.
Not for quite a long time had the Catalans failed to progress past the group stage in Champions League, with the 2000-01 competition the last time their campaign finished before Christmas.
Bayern didn’t have to escape to totally destroy a Barça group that attempted to contend yet never verged on troubling the German champions, and Xavi’s men are out of Europe’s top rivalry.
