Bayern’s 8-2 victory against Barcelona was the highest-scoring knockout game in the UEFA Champions League era but it fell just short of being the match with the most goals in the competition’s history.
That honour goes to their domestic rivals Borussia Dortmund, who overcame Legia Warszawa 8-4 in a group game in November 2016. Monaco’s famous 8-3 triumph against Deportivo in 2003 takes second place with Bayern’s bonanza in Lisbon sitting third.

The greatest humiliation for Barcelona is Coutinho scoring 2 goals and assisted Lewandowski in one and knocked Barcelona out of the UCL. What a revenge!!
Bayern didn’t even need two legs,they destroyed Barca in just one match.

THIS GAME IS HUGE! | Man City vs Lyon | UCL QUARTER-FINALS MATCH PREVIEW
For the first time since 1996 no English or Spanish sides will compete in this year’s UCL.
With only French and German teams left standing, this is the first time since 2013 that just two nations are being represented at the semi-final stage of the Champions League.
PSG will face Leipzig tonight in the first final-four showdown.
Bayern tackle Lyon tomorrow night.
Today night PSG will face RB Leipzig in the semifinals of the champions league.
PSG have not won a single UEFA Champions league till date. However, they are doing extremely well in the current season scoring 22 goals with top scorer Kylian Mbappe scoring 5 goals. He has also given 5 assists. They have 87% passing accuracy and have also had 46 successful tackles.
RB Leipzig have scored 16 goals in the champions league this season. They have a passing accuracy of 85% and they have has 56% possesion on an average in a game. They have also played 9 games out of which 3 were clean sheets.
According to me this is going to be a very interesting match that will contain a number of beautiful plays!
Today night these two teams will be facing each other in the second semifinals of the UEFA Champions League!
Lyon has certainly suprised not only me but the the whole football audience by defeating Man city and Juventus to reach the Quarter Finals of the UEFA Champions League. They are a rather offensive team with 403 attacks with 339 of them deliverd in the attacking third. Their defence is also pretty good with 451 balls recovered and over 155 clearances.
The German champions have been favourites from the start, however no one expected them to be in such good form. They have been annihilating any team that faces them like they won 8-2 against Barca. They have won all 9 games in the UCL this season and have scored 39 goals in total with top scorer Robert Lewandowski who has scored 14 goals (top scorer of UCL). They have a passing accuracy of 88% and have 61% possession on average in each game.
This is going to be a very intense match because both the teams have exceeded our expectations and knocked out all the big teams.
