The Spanish giants were destroyed in the quarter-final stage of the elite European competition at Estadio da Luiz on Friday

Bayern Munich’s 8-2 victory overBarcelona in the Uefa Champions League quarter-final has got football enthusiasts across Africa and world talking on social media.

Four goals in each of the Friday’s encounter saw Barcelona bow to their heaviest defeat in the European competition.

The triumph propelled Bayern Munich to the semi-final stage and would face the winner between Manchester City and Lyon, however, the margin of goals conceded by Barcelona – five-time Champions League winners – left fans embarrassed.
