Barcelona suffered 0-3 defeat at Camp Nou courtesy of Bayern Munich. This came after the Catalans were eliminated from the UEFA Champions League competition after Inter won Viktoria Plzen.
Goals from Sadio Mane and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting in the first half were enough to compound Barca to their woes. Benjamin Pavard put the final nail on the coffin in the 90th minute.
In other news, Liverpool have qualified for the next round of the Champions League after a solid 3-0 at Ajax. Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez and Harvey Elliott were on target for the Reds.
