Barcelona, who came into the quarter-final clash unbeaten in their last five games, were left in shock after the humiliation Bayern handed them in 90 minutes. The Catalan side, five-time winners of the UCL, were 4-1 down in the first half and conceded four more in the final 45 minutes.

This was also the first time since 2007-08 that Barcelona ends their campaign without a single trophy. The Champions League was their final chance at silverware this season and they return empty-handed. Barcelona were beaten by Real Madrid in the La Liga title race, lost the Spanish Super cup semi-final to Atletico Madrid and were defeated by Athletic Bilbao in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals before this loss.
