Bayern Munich put up another sensational performance at the Nou Camp, to defeat Barcelona 3-0 on the night and 7-0 on aggregate, to qualify for the finals of the Champions League.
Lionel Messi, who was largely anonymous in the first leg, sat out the tie. The Germans, who had won the first leg comfortably, started brightly in Spain, passing the ball quickly and choking the Spaniards when they didn’t have possession.
However, they did not break he deadlock until the 48th minute. David Alaba’s cross-field pass found Arjen Robben, who cut inside Adriano and curled in an exquisite effort. The goal effectively ended the semi-final as a contest, but Bayern were in an unforgiving mode.
Gerard Pique poked the ball past his own goalkeeper, before Thomas Muller rose above Adriano and Batra, to head in the visitor’s third.
They will now face Bundesliga rivals, Borussia Dortmund, in the final on May 25 at Wembley.
