Today, August 14, 2020, marks 4 years since one of the darkest nights in Barcelona's history when they lost 8-2 to Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

On this day in 2020, Barcelona suffered a humiliating 8-2 defeat to Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals of the Champions League in Lisbon.

The architect of this victory was Hansi Flick, who ironically now manages Barcelona.

Barcelona, ​​the giant that has been accustomed in the last 30 years to glorious nights and winning titles in Europe, felt the bitterness of defeat that night.

It was not just a defeat; it was the end of a team that had dominated Europe for many years against a competitor that knew how to read and exploit every weak point.

The Bavarian team decided the match in the first half when they advanced 4-1, which thwarted any attempt to respond from Barça.

In the second half, the situation got worse for the Blaugrana, who conceded 4 more goals, and the match ended in a humiliating 2-8 loss.

The victory of the Germans, who came to the event ready to lift the treble (which they later won), was expected because the team was excited in the days leading up to the encounter.

On the other hand, Barcelona seemed to have finally received the biggest blow, which prompted club president Josep Maria Bartomeu to resign days later.
