Barça suffered their biggest defeat in 80 years in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals on Friday and ended the season without a title for the first time in 12 years. The Catalans lost for the first time since 1951 by more than 5 goals.
Although L. Messi tried to be active and save his team from the nightmare in the first half of the game, his agony was evident after the break.
Bayern defender Leon Goretzka received a question from a journalist after the match about the rival leader, who is the childhood hero. Asked if it was not painful to see an Argentine so injured, the German replied: “On the contrary, it was very funny.”
Thomas Muller was recognized as the best player of the match. The forward said the victory was even more fun than the 2014 World Cup semi-final, in which he beat the Brazilian team 7: 1 with the German team.
“We worked hard to prepare for this match and we had a lot of fun with it. We didn’t have as much control of the match even in 2014, playing against the Brazilians. We are very happy, but we must not rest on our laurels and prepare for the semi-finals,” he said. Th. Mulleris.

As the Germans celebrate, L. Messi immerses himself in reflection. Barcelona have shamefully withdrawn from the Champions League for the third year in a row: last year in the semifinals after the 3: 0 win against Liverpool at home, the guests fell 0: 4. Something similar happened yesterday in the showdown. with AS Roma.
If the situation in the club does not change radically, the veteran Catalan leader is going to leave, writes the Spanish media. The 33-year-old Argentine will become a free agent in the summer of 2021. He has been associated with Inter Milan and Manchester City for some time.
Barcelona has already decided to say goodbye to coach Quique Setien, and Eric Abidalis, the team’s sporting director, should leave his post. However, Messi reportedly would like the club’s president, Joseph Maria Bartomeu, to resign as well.
Neither Messi nor Ronaldo, who have 11 Ballon d’Or awards together, will play in the semifinals of this year’s Champions League. This is the first case of its kind since 2005.
