Bayern Munich defeated FC Barcelona 3-0 in a routine and anticipated manner—and not even for the first time recently. The Bavarians appear to be experts at cutting off the Catalonians, as they have accomplished it for the past three years in succession. Here are some of the key points from Bayern's stunning victory at Camp Nou, which sent Barcelona to the Europa League.

Combination of smart and foolish actions

Bayern has recently achieved "remarkable" victories with various scorelines, including 2-0, 3-0, 4-0, and others. The Bavarians' consistent performance in these games, which included strong defense and superb build-up play, has really been the determining factor. Julian Nagelsmann's team won the first leg 2-0 at the Allianz Arena despite not playing at their best. They used their strong defense in this game to stay in control and secure the victory. Bayern doesn't mind being in "dangerous" situations, but it might not be essential to put themselves in so many of them.

Bayern's lack of desire to end games or finish them off is yet another factor. Barça was a mess tonight, so such a move would not have been required. However, finding a smooth way to slow down the pace of the game would be extremely beneficial for Bayern.

Bayern's passing game continues to be fascinating.

Bercalona's squad may require instruction at the basic education level if they keep losing so often.

Bayern's Brilliance both in goal-scoring and goal-assisting

Just ten minutes of entering the game, Sadio Mané scored his first goal, with Serge Gnabry receiving credit for the assist. Mané easily outmuscled Héctor Bellern, who was defenseless, as he beat Marc-Andre ter Stegan. At 31', Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting made it 2-0 with a deft and potent shot, demonstrating his consistency as Bayern's go-to attack man. And here is where Gnabry enters the picture. The German international was again supplying, and his clever cross was well-utilized by Choupo.

Lastly, forward towards the end of the game, as Barcelona's already substandard defense collapsed to dust, Benjamin Pavard gave Barça fans everywhere cause to have an even terrible night, and our ever-reliable Gnabry completed a hat-trick of assists. With a bombardment of crosses and shots throughout the whole game, Gnabry absolutely controlled the offense.

I personally believe Serge gnabry deserves a moment of silence after that offside goal at the 55-second mark.

Lewandowski unavailable? Not a problem

It would be far too early to draw conclusions about the situation of Mathys Tel, and neither Choupo nor Mané are exact substitutes for Lewandowski. The only way to properly replace Lewandowski would be a team effort in which every player makes an attempt to make a contribution to goals and assists, just like every Bayern player, member, and staff acknowledged following his departure. This has been the case that since beginning of the present campaign thanks to Bayern's improved attack fluidity, which has been an incredible pleasure to watch.

It is significant that Barcelona's poor defense lost them the match in this particular match. Bayern deserves all the credit for their outstanding football, but even if they hadn't put in as much effort, they were still by much the superior team. Bercalona also left the field without firing a single shot that connected with the target. Perhaps everything won't just turn out because you bought Robert Lewandowski...
