Never mind meeting records, the statistics convinced Munich that it didn't turn out to be sweet.

"I think all of us and you guys feel it too, feel like we can lead this game and be able to turn around for us."
"But at important moments we lost. For that reason, the results were quite tough. We have to learn from this match so that at the next opportunity we will be even stronger," Kompany said in a press conference as reported by ESPN.
Barcelona opened the scoring when the game had only been running for a minute through Raphinha before being equalized by Harry Kane (18).
Former Bayern Munich, Robert Lewandowski then put Barca ahead again to close the first half. In the second half, the Blaugrana scored two more goals through Raphinha's braces (45' and 56').
