FC Barcelona exacted revenge on Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League last night with a resounding 4-1 hammering at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys.
Having been at the receiving end of several drubbings from the German giants in recent years, the Blaugrana gave them a taste of their own medicine, doing so in some style.
Raphinha, who looks like a completely different player under new manager Hansi Flick, led the way with three goals while Robert Lewandowski also netted one against his former employers.
The likes of Pedri, Marc Casado, Lamine Yamal, Fermin Lopez, and Pau Cubarsi also excelled on a special night for Barça.
Thomas Muller’s message for Barcelona
Following the 4-1 drubbing that they received, Bayern Munich veteran and club legend Thomas Muller sent a classy message congratulating Barcelona and Hansi Flick on the result.
“Congrats to FC Barcelona and my former coach Hansi Flick for their win against us yesterday night. To be honest I don’t want to analyze the game too much. We stay together as a team and focus onto our next game on Sunday. Have a good evening,” he wrote.
Muller has previously not been shy of talking about Bayern’s recent dominance over Barcelona. The German icon had even issued a playful warning to Flick ahead of the game on Wednesday.
However, the Blaugrana made sure to send a message of their own on the field to Muller & co. with a standout display.
With form and momentum on their side, Barcelona will now shift their focus towards Saturday’s El Clasico against Real Madrid.
