Champions League quarter-final stage matches continue to be played. On Friday, football fans awaited an intriguing match between "Barcelona" and Munich's "Bayern" clubs, which the Germans won 8:2. At the beginning of the match, H. Flick's proteges tried to attack the opponents, but the first dangerous attack was organized by "Barcelona". However, soon after a great combination, the Bundesliga champions scored the first goal when T. Muller scored after R. Lewandowski's pass (1:0). The Catalans were not in debt and quickly organized a response, with "Bayern" defender D. Alaba scoring an own goal while trying to clear the ball (1:1). The "La Liga" club did not calm down and L. Suarez, facing M. Neuer, had a great chance to score. Soon after, L. Messi's cross hit the crossbar of the German team's goal. The Munich team took the initiative, but the "Bayern" team only earned a corner. Finally, H. Flick's efforts bore fruit - after the ball was taken from S. Busquets, it reached I. Perisic, who calmly beat ter Stegen. The "Barcelona" goalkeeper soon had to demonstrate his prowess again and miraculously defended against the "Bayern" attack. However, a moment later, the Germans celebrated their third goal - S. Gnabry scored after L. Goretzka's pass. German dominance continued - T. Muller scored the fourth goal (4:1). The first half ended with a long-range shot from L. Suarez, but the ball was caught by M. Neuer. After the break, "Bayern" continued dangerous attacks and scored their fifth goal, which was not counted due to an offside decision. In the 56th minute, L. Suarez revived the hopes of the Catalans - the Uruguayan deceived the opponent's defenders and reduced the deficit (4:2). However, Munich continued to score goals - after a breakthrough by A. Davies, J. Kimmich scored freely, and R. Lewandowski also got his word in. At the end of the match, "Barcelona" concluded their defeat with a goal from P. Coutinho, who scored twice after coming on as a substitute (8:2). The winner of the match will face the winner of the "Man City" and "Lyon" pair in the semi-finals.
