    What's the story

    Bayern Munich maintained their 100% record in the UEFA Champions League 2021-22 season.

    The German champions won their sixth successive group stage match, humbling a sorry Barcelona side 3-0.

    Notably, Barca have been ousted and will now have to play in the Europa League.

    Benfica have joined Bayern in the round of 16 by beating Dynamo Kyiv 2-0.

    Here are the key stats.

    Context

    Why does it matter?

    Five-time European champions Barcelona had reached the Champions League last 16 in every one of the past 17 seasons.

    Prior to this, they had failed to qualify for the tournament in 2003-04.

    To go out in such a poor manner highlights the level Barca are in.

    They managed just two goals from six games and had an aggregate score of 0-6 against Bayern.

    Details

    How did the match pan out?

    After a lively start, Bayern Munich found the net in the 34th minute with Robert Lewandowski setting up Thomas Muller at the far post.

    Leroy Sane made it 2-0 before half-time with the German finding the top right corner.

    In the second half, Jamal Musiala made it 3-0 with Alphonso Davies pulling the ball back from the byline and laying it for the former.

    Muller

    Muller gets to 50 Champions League goals

    Veteran Bayern Munich ace Muller has become just the eighth player to net 50-plus Champions League goals.

    He is now the joint-seventh in terms of UCL goals.

    Muller matched the tally of former Arsenal legend Thierry Henry (50).

    Muller is the second Bayern Munich player to score 50-plus Champions League goals after Lewandowski (65).

    Notably, Lewandowski has 82 UCL goals in total.
