No team has ever overturned a 4-0 deficit after the first leg of a Champions League knockout game.
Barcelona’s 4-0 defeat in Munich in the first-leg was their heaviest in a Champions League game since their defeat by the same scoreline against Dinamo Kiev back in November 1997.
If Bayern Munich qualify, it will be the third time they have reached the final of the Champions League in the last four seasons. They were beaten finalists in each of their last two appearances (v Inter Milan in 2010 and Chelsea in 2012).
Barcelona have only won one of their seven competitive encounters with Bayern Munich (two draws, four defeats).
Barcelona have won only one of their last six Champions League games (three draws, two defeats).
Worse, they have won only one of their last seven knockout games in the competition (4-0 v AC Milan in this season’s last 16), drawing three and losing three.
Barcelona are unbeaten in their last 21 Champions League games at Camp Nou (16 wins, five draws), their last defeat dating back to October 2009 against Rubin Kazan (1-2).
Barcelona’s last three home games in the CL knockout stages against German sides have all seen the Catalans win by at least four clear goals: 4-0 v Bayern Munich in April 2009, 4-0 v Vfb Stuttgart in March 2010 and 7-1 v Bayer Leverkusen in March 2012.
Bayern Munich have scored more goals than any other side in the Champions League this season (26).
Bayern Munich have won their last three Champions League games without conceding a single goal, the best current run in the competition.
Arsenal’s Laurent Koscielny is the last player to score against Bayern Munich in the Champions League, it was 275 minutes ago.
Thomas Müller has been directly involved in 54.5% of Bayern Munich’s goals in the knockout stages of the Champions League this season, six out of 11 (four goals and two assists).
Since 2008/09, Lionel Messi has scored 51 goals in the Champions League, which is 37 more than any other Barcelona player over that period (Pedro, 14 goals).

Neuer, boateng, alaba, Martinez, gotze, muller, most likely lewandowski. That's the spin of the team for the next decade!

A strengthened Man Utd team can play neck to neck against this Bayern. It's not a football domination like what Barca did, it's just tactical and exploiting weaknesses, Fergie can do it

Can just imagine how arrogant the germans are going to be now, even more than normal, and that's pretty bad, i watched the game on a link but it had german commentary, think the commentator was a bit of a wierdo though because he kept mentioning manshafts,
