Bayern Munich started the encounter against Barcelona impressively, but had to wait until the 34th minute before netting the first goal through Thomas Muller.
Leroy Sane made things sour for Barcelona fans in the 43rd minute when he scored the second goal as Bayern players went into the dressing room with a two-goal advantage at end of first half.
What happened in the second half?
Barcelona players tried their best in the second half, but the hosts took the game beyond them and got their third goal in the 62nd minute through Jamal Musiala.
According to the report on Mirror and SB Nation, Muller explained that it was difficult for Barcelona players to cope in the Champions League tie.
Muller's reaction about Barcelona
"I think Barça can't cope with the intensity. Technically, they have it all, they are great players tactically and technically, but they can't cope with the intensity in top football."
