In the 34th minute, Muller gave Bayern the lead with a shot from beyond the box that rebounded off Barca defender Eric Garcia and fooled goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

Bayern’s second goal came in the 54th minute, when Lewandowski tapped in from close range after Jamal Musiala had hit the post, as Bayern made a flying start after the break, encircling their opponents in their own half.

In the 85th minute, the Polish striker twisted the knife even further into Barcelona, gathering the ball in the area after another effort had hit the post and torturing the defense before calmly beating Ter Stegen in the Group E match.

The result was not as bad as Bayern’s 8-2 thrashing in the quarterfinals two seasons ago, but Barca’s performance was just as bad, as they were regularly dispossessed and failed to deal with the visitors’ energy.

Although the audience was restricted to 40,000 because to coronavirus limitations, Barca had a good start in their first Champions League game in front of fans at the Camp Nou since December 2019, there were less spectators in attendance due to a lack of hunger for the post-Lionel Messi era.

But Bayern quickly asserted their dominance, and it took a powerful hand from Ter Stegen to deny Leroy Sane from putting the Germans ahead, while Gerard Pique had to dive across the pitch to prevent Musiala from scoring.

In the first half, Barcelona’s lone genuine chance came from a free kick, with defender Ronald Araujo meeting Memphis Depay’s cross and headed narrowly over the bar.

Muller, who scored twice in Bayern’s 8-2 thrashing of Barcelona in Lisbon and now has seven goals against the Catalans in Europe’s premier tournament, finally gave Bayern the lead their performance deserved.

At halftime, there were loud booing, but the hosts’ situation became more dire after the interval, and towards the conclusion of the game, Barca supporters were cynically cheering the team whenever they recovered the ball, resigned to their destiny.

“We came here to win this game, and we knew we had to respect Barcelona,” Lewandowski said. “They are always scary when you play against them at the Camp Nou.” But we controlled the game and demonstrated that we were in it for the three points.”

Lewandowski’s scoring streak in all club competitions now stands at 18 games. Muller’s goal was his 49th in Champions League play, with seven of them coming against Barcelona. He has scored more goals against Barcelona than any other player in the tournament.

Muller remarked, “It’s a lot of fun playing here, the guys loved it.” “It sends a very significant message when you win 3-0 here. We’re very happy. We gave very little away at the defense, and we could have scored one or two more goals moving forward.”

Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman admitted that there was a skill gap on the pitch, pointing out that his team was missing injured players Sergio Aguero, Ousmane Dembele, and Ansu Fati.

“I can’t fault the team’s mentality, but there is a difference in quality.” One club that has been playing against us for a long time, with a lot of young players who will be better in two or three years. It’s tough to accept, but we’re hopeful that things will improve and that individuals will recover from their injuries.

Players range in age from 19 to 20. When you compare it to Bayern’s situation, you can see the disparity. With time, the disparity will narrow.”

With the Camp Nou almost full, the supporters vented their frustrations on Sergi Roberto, who had a forgettable performance playing out of position at right full-back and was replaced in the 60th minute.

“Bayern Munich is a rock-solid team, and we are who we are. It’s just the way it is. We had a large number of children on towards the end. But we’re Barca, and I’m not going to make excuses. At the conclusion of the season, we’ll see “After the game, Barcelona captain Pique remarked.

“It saddens me deeply because I know him as a person; he’s a wonderful human being who loves this club beyond everything else. I’d want to point out that he’s not a full-back himself, and that he’s making a significant sacrifice by playing there. It’s excruciatingly painful, “Pique expressed his admiration for his colleague.

Roberto was also defended by Koeman, who said, “I never appreciate people whistling a player.” All of the players have done their hardest to offer their all.

“The only problem is that Sergi was playing in a position where he would not play if all of his teammates were available. He’s a different kind of player who can play farther up on the flank, where he has to be excellent one-on-one and fast.”
