Barcelona have suffered complete humiliation having been thrashed 8-2 by Bayern Munich on Friday night.

The Catalan giants were hoping for a passage into the semi-finals of the Champions League, but fell flat with a dismal performance against Bayern.

A frantic start saw Thomas Muller’s opener cancelled out by a David Alaba own goal, only for Ivan Perisic, Serge Gnabry and another Muller strike to make it 4-1.

Barca gave themselves hope with a superb Luis Suarez strike, but Joshua Kimmich, Robert Lewandowski and a Philippe Coutinho brace secured a staggering 8-2 win for Bayern.

This is the end of the road for many at Barcelona; boss Quique Setien is almost certain to go, whilst a number of players will be flogged this summer.

One of them could be right back Nelson Semedo, who endured a difficult night – particularly against Alphonso Davies as the Canadian left back blazed past him to set up Kimmich’s goal.

Semedo has been linked with a move away, as The Independent claimed in June that Barca were willing to offer him to Tottenham as part of a swap deal for Tanguy Ndombele.

Spurs fans watched the Portuguese defender in action on Friday, and took to Twitter to criticise his performance, believing that a swap deal would be a poor move and that he is no better than Serge Aurier.
