Twitter Reacts To Bayern’s 8-2 Win Over Barcelona In Champions League
That one had to hurt.
Bayern Munich hammered Barcelona 8-2 on Friday in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals. The difference between Bayern’s domination and Barcelona’s capitulation was as stark as the scoreline, as the former progresses to the semifinals as favorites to win European soccer’s elite men’s club competition and the latter ends its season in utter shame.

These numbers prove Bayern’s win and Barcelona’s defeat simply were historic.
8 – Bayern Munich are the first team to score eight goals in a Champions League knockout match. Endless. #UCL

We’d 8-2 be a Barca fan right now…

A disgusting mismatch. I think plenty knew Bayern would best Barca easily tonight, but a 6-goal margin is just mindblowing. The gap is even larger than we thought.

Shameful lack of effort from Barcelona. Bayern Munich able to pick them off at will #BARBAY

Barcelona's last 8-2 loss was to Real Madrid in February 1935. Manager Franz Platko survived (and even got the job again 20 years later). But, crucially, Twitter didn't exist back then #BARBAY
