Reactions

In the German public, while the game was being broadcast on television and radio, the commentators made comparisons to the 7: 1 of the German national team against Brazil at the 2014 World Cup .

In the Spanish press it was written that Bayern Munich “buried” or “humiliated” FC Barcelona. The Spanish sports newspaper Marca wrote of a "historical humiliation". In Spain, the focus was generally on the poor performance of FC Barcelona and in particular on the consequences of the squad composition (the average age of the team at the game against FC Bayern Munich was almost 30 years). The daily El Mundo found it “the most embarrassing Barcelona in history”.

The French L'Équipe also wrote that Bayern Munich had “humiliated” their opponents FC Barcelona.

Further development

As a result of an inadequate sporting development in the club, the end of which was the 8-2 defeat, FC Barcelona separated on August 17th from coach Quique Setién , who had only started his post in January. A day later, Éric Abidal's contract as director of football at Barça was also terminated.

FC Bayern Munich moved into the final of the Champions League on August 19 after beating Olympique Lyon 3-0 in the semi-final . With a 1-0 win against French champions Paris Saint-Germain , the triple of the 2019/20 season was won on August 23, 2020 .

Trivia
