Bayern hammer Barca with 8-2 win to reach Champions League semi-final
Barca #Barca
BAYERN MUNICH STUNNED Barcelona tonight in Portugal as they fired home eight goals to cruise into the semi-finals of the Champions League.
The German giants were ahead 4-1 at half-time in Lisbon, a dominant opening display leaving Barcelona shell-shocked.
Thomas Mueller opened the scoring in the 4th minute and while Barcelona gained some respite when drawing level three minutes later thanks to an own goal from David Alaba, the rest of the half brought plenty more pain.
Ivan Perisic in the 22nd minute, Serge Gnabry in the 28th minute and Mueller again in the 31st minute were all on target to leave the Bundesliga champions in the driving seat.
Luis Suarez pulled one back for Barcelona in the second half but they collapsed thereafter with Joshua Kimmich, Robert Lewandowski and substitute Philippe Coutinho, twice, all netted to cap off an embarrassing night for the Spanish giants.
