Bayern Munich vs Barcelona 2020 (Bayern-Barca 2020)
Final score and result: Bayern vs Barcelona 8-2 (Muller*2, Gnabry, Perisic, Kimmich, Lewandowski, Coutinho*2/Alaba OG, Suarez)
Lisbon- 14 August, 2020- Quarterfinal
A demolition job by Bayern, who score EIGHT against Barca to advance to the semi-finals. No Spanish team in the semi-finals, and no Ronaldo or Messi in the last four either. Also check out the Spanish newspaper reaction to this 8-2 loss.
These Philippe Coutinho goals vs Barca marked a rather rare occasion from the the knockout stages of Europe’s premier club competition- a player on loan scoring TWICE against his parent club. The Coutinho goals v Barcelona came in the 85th and 88th minutes, and were Bayern’s 7th and 8th goals of the game. Almost adding insult to injury, but to his credit, Coutinho didn’t celebrate
This Alphonso Davies run vs Barca and eventual assist for Joshua Kimmich’s goal against the Catalans was another evidence of the talent that lies at the Canadian left back’s feet. Literally runs past several Barcelona defenders and creates a marvellous opportunity, which is finished off by Kimmich. Poor defending from Nelson Semedo and Gerard Pique though.
