Barcelona vs. Bayern Munich results: Catalans dismantled in historic fashion, 8-2Getty
It was a one-sided affair as the German side outclassed Lionel Messi and Co.

Prior to Friday, Barcelona had never conceded five goals in a single UEFA Champions League match.

Enter Bayern Munich, which dominated the Catalans en route to an emphatic 8-2 victory in the quarterfinals of the continental championship.

It was the sort of result that makes a team question its entire ethos, and Barca will certainly be second-guessing its dogmatic approach against the German giant after being incisively and consistently carved apart. Despite a bright start, it was clear that the Blaugrana were second-best all over the pitch as Bayern scored at will throughout the match.

Doubles by Thomas Muller and loanee (from Barca) Philippe Coutinho were accompanied by strikes from Ivan Perisic, Serge Gnabry, Joshua Kimmich and Robert Lewandowsi as a rampant Bayern ran out an historic winner. Not only was it the first time a team had scored five (or six, or seven, or eight) on Barca in the Champions League, it was also the first time the Spanish side has lost by six goals since 1951.

Adding to the historic feel of the game was yet another electric moment by Canada's Alphonso Davies, who started the match against his self-professed idol in Lionel Messi. Davies assisted on Kimmich's 63rd-minute goal with a darting run down the left that was punctuated by the young Canadian completely embarrassing Barca right back Nelson Semedo with a series of jukes and step-overs. The 19-year-old Bayern wunderkind breezed past Semedo and got himself to the endline, sending a short pass across the face of goal for Kimmich to easily tap in.

The entire sequence was so impressive that Davies' teammates congratulated him before heading over to goal scorer Kimmich.

Second half

4:49 p.m. - It's over. That was one of the biggest demolitions in Champions League history.

4:48 p.m. - We're into two minutes of stoppage now. This one's been long over.

4:45 p.m. - ⚽️ GOAL BAYERN! Coutinho again. You have to think Barca's already looking for a new manager. Bayern 8, Barcelona 2.

4:42 p.m. - ⚽️ GOAL BAYERN! It's lucky seven for the Munich side and this is a complete dismantling. And of course it's Coutinho who scores it, adding insult to injury.  Bayern 7, Barcelona 2.

4:40 p.m. - 🔁 Davies and Goretzka exit, Tolisso and Hernandez enter.

4:38 p.m. - ⚽️ GOAL BAYERN! Lewandowski finally gets his goal with a header from in close. This is too easy for Bayern now. Bayern 6, Barcelona 2.

4:35 p.m. - This match has slowed to a stand-still now, which suits Bayern just fine.

4:31 p.m. - 🔁 Two more subs for Bayern. Coutinho and Sule in, Boateng and Gnabry out.

4:24 p.m. - 🔁 Coman comes in for Perisic. Also, Davies appears to be OK.

4:23 p.m. - Davies is now down inside the Bayern area after a nasty clash of heads with Semedo. Hopefully the young Canadian is fine.

4:19 p.m. - ⚽️ GOAL BAYERN! Davies just roasted the Barca defence and laid it on a platter for fellow full-back Kimmich. What a run by the youngster. Bayern 5, Barcelona 2.

4:17 p.m. - 🟡 Now a Barcelona coach has been booked. 

4:15 p.m. - 🟡 Jordi Alba picks up a dumb yellow for throwing the ball toward the ref after he doesn't like a call. That's pure frustration by the Barca man.

4:13 p.m. - ⚽️ GOAL BARCA! Suarez gets Boateng to bite strongly on a right-foot feint and turns it past Neuer with his left. That was pretty. Bayern 4, Barcelona 2.

4:10 p.m. - 🟡 Now Suarez goes into the referee's book for a cynical challenge on Thiago.

4:09 p.m. - Lewandowski puts the ball into the net but Muller was well offside in the build up and Bayern will have to wait for the fifth.

4:08 p.m. - 🟡 Davies gets booked for an errant elbow on Vidal but Alaba gets away with a strange throat-grab/takedown on Suarez seconds later.

4:02 p.m. - 🔁 Barca brought in Griezmann at the start if the half for Sergi Roberto. Might as well go for it.

4:01 p.m. - We're back, but let's flash back to the first half for just a minute...

First half

3:45 p.m. - The referee rather mercifully gives no stoppage time and blows the whistle right at the stroke of 45 minutes. What a half by the German side. Bayern 4, Barcelona 1.

3:42 p.m. - 🟡 Boateng takes the game's first yellow after fouling Suarez near the midfield line. The Bayern defender was clearly stopping a decent attack, and the card was rightly shown.

3:40 p.m. - The pace of the game has slowed considerably, but Bayern's still pressing.

3:35 p.m. - Reminder: We're only 35 minutes in. 😳

3:31 p.m. - ⚽️ GOAL BAYERN! It's Muller time again as Bayern continues to run rampant inside Barca's half. This one is getting away from the Catalans quickly. Bayern 4, Barcelona 1.

3:29 p.m. - SAVE! Lewandowski is stopped from inside the six-yard box! That should have been Bayern's fourth.

3:27 p.m. - ⚽️ GOAL BAYERN! Gnabry gets on the board after getting behind the Barca defence. Bayern dominant now. Bayern 3, Barcelona 1.

3:26 p.m. - SAVE! Ter Stegen keeps the ball out with a quick reaction save after Perisic again found success down the left and his shot falls to Lewandowski, who had a tap-in if not for the Barca keeper.

3:21 p.m. - ⚽️ GOAL BAYERN! It's a thunderous shot from Perisic after Bayern's press forces a turnover 30 yards from the Barca goal. Perisic hit it low and hard from the left side, and it took a slight deflection before bulging the back of the net. Bayern 2, Barcelona 1.

3:20 p.m. - Messi gets his first look at goal after a shifty run down the right side. His strike was right at Neuer, though.

3:13 p.m. - We're only 13 minutes in and it feels like both teams should have several more goals already. This one is being played end-to-end.

3:11 p.m. - We have our first clash between Davies and Messi as the Barca star takes down the Canadian from behind after it looked like Davies would be off to the races. That may have been yellow-card worthy.

3:10 p.m. - Whoa! Busquets hits the post after a bit of chaos inside the Bayern area. The German side is under the gun at the moment.

3:09 p.m. - SAVE! Suarez gets sent into the area from a clever Semedo through-ball, but Neuer makes himself big to stop the point-blank effort.

3:06 p.m. - ⚽️ GOAL BARCA! It's an Alaba own-goal after Alba crosses the ball towards Suarez. The Bayern defender lunged at it and placed it perfectly over his own 'keeper. Bayern 1, Barcelona 1.

3:03 p.m. - ⚽️ GOAL BAYERN! Muller finishes off a nice move as Bayern counterattacked at pace. Lewandowski had a good little touch to put Muller into a shooting position. Bayern 1, Barcelona 0.
