Bavaria Dominates from Start to Finish
In a match that will go down in history, Bayern Munich delivered a stunning performance to crush Barcelona 8-2 in the UEFA Champions League semifinal on August 14, 2020. The German giants dominated from start to finish, leaving the Spanish giants shell-shocked and humiliated.

Second-Half Massacre
The second half was even more one-sided as Bayern continued to pour forward. Serge Gnabry netted two quick goals to extend the lead to 4-0.

Joshua Kimmich capped off the night with a stunning volley.
