"Barcelona" after an 18-year break will play in the UEFA Europa League - this can be confirmed after the Catalans lost 0:3 to "Bayern" away, while "Benfica" defeated Kyiv's "Dynamo" 2:0 at home. Barcelona would have remained in the Champions League if they had won in Munich, or if the Lisbon team had not beaten the opponents from Ukraine at home, but neither of these scenarios came true. In the match against Bayern, Barcelona did not have many chances. In the 34th minute, Thomas Muller scored another goal for his team after a duel in the second half. Towards the end of the half, Leroy Sane also scored with a great shot, doubling the advantage for the hosts. The third nail in the coffin for Barcelona was struck by the young Jamal Musiala. The midfielder received a pass from Alphonso Davies and confidently sent the ball into the net. In the match against Dynamo, Benfica scored both goals in the first half - Roman Yaremchuk and Gilberto were the scorers. However, the Kyiv team definitely had a good chance or two in these matches, especially at the beginning of the game, when Viktor Tsygankov practically missed an open goal. However, the Ukrainian team did not take advantage of their chances. Barcelona last participated in a European league in the 2003-04 season, and Benfica last played in the Champions League knockout stages in the 2016-17 season. In Group E, Munich's Bayern collected the maximum number of points - 18 out of 18 possible."
