Summary Barcelona vs. Bayern Munich: Score, statistics, goals and highlights | UEFA Champions League 24/25

Barcelona – Bayern 4:1

It's a long walk from the back of the goal to the fans in the stands at either short end of the Estadi Lluis Company. But at the end of the game, the Barcelona team simply had more time to build up the noise olés before join the party.

A simply stunning performance In what was billed as their toughest game of the season so far in a tournament where they once suffered a slip-up – unlike in the league – we ask ourselves the question: Is Barcelona good now?

It turns out that this may be the case. A Raphinha's goal was scored after 60 secondswas canceled twice by Kaneone of them was offside and was ruled out, but from then on the historically shaky snooker table swung all the way towards the Germans, who suffered hit after hit, counterattack after counterattack and goal after goal.

Raphinha found the corner pockets three times and will take over the headlines, the MVP award and all the front pages tomorrow morning, but from 1 to 11 it was like that Barça at its bestand theirs most dominant in Europe perhaps since Messi's free kick against Liverpool.

They don't have Messi anymore, but they have him Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Gavi, Pau Cubarsí, Fermin and around 100 other young players to get the fans out of their seats and tonight proved that the future could be bright.

Your near future? Well, yes, that is a game against Real Madrid on the weekend.
