Barcelona’s rivalry with Bayern Munich has been nothing short of a rollercoaster, one that has haunted Barca fans for years, especially after the infamous 8-2 defeat in the 2020 UEFA Champions League quarterfinals. But in a thrilling turn of events, Barcelona finally got their sweet revenge with a 4-1 win over Bayern, powered by a Raphinha hat trick and a goal from Lewandowski. In this animation, we dive into the highs and lows of this rivalry, leading up to Barca’s triumphant moment.
It all began with that unforgettable night in 2020. Barcelona were utterly demolished by Bayern, losing 8-2 in one of the most humiliating defeats in the club’s history. We start our animation by revisiting this painful memory. Messi, the iconic figure of Barcelona, looks completely dejected, his disappointment mirroring the anguish of Barca fans worldwide. Meanwhile, Piqué, stunned and at a loss for words, stands in disbelief. Lewandowski, Muller, and Bayern coach Hansi Flick, however, celebrate as if it were a training match. The scoreboard shines brightly: Barcelona 2-8 Bayern, a symbol of utter dominance by the German side.
Fast forward to the 2021-22 UEFA Champions League draw, and fate brings Barcelona and Bayern together again in the group stage. With Barca still recovering, the scenes from the past repeat themselves. Muller, Lewandowski, and Sane celebrate as Frenkie de Jong, Pedri, and coach Xavi watch helplessly, knowing they are once again on their way to the Europa League.
By the summer of 2022, things looked different for Barcelona. They had signed Bayern's star striker Robert Lewandowski, hoping his arrival would turn the tide. Xavi and club president Laporta are all smiles, full of hope that Lewandowski will help Barcelona reclaim their former glory.
But once again, in the 2022-23 season, Barcelona finds themselves drawn into the same group as Bayern. This time, Lewandowski, now wearing the Barcelona colors, finds himself on the losing side. Muller and Sane celebrate yet again, while Lewandowski, alongside Xavi, cries as they head for the Europa League once more.
Now, the stage is set for 2024. Barcelona and Bayern face off once again in what seems like an endless cycle. But this time, things are different. In my cartoon’s triumphant version of events, Barcelona finally gets the better of Bayern. Raphinha scores a stunning hat trick, while Lewandowski adds another goal to seal the victory. Bayern's stars Harry Kane, Muller, and Kompany are left frustrated and defeated.
Barcelona has finally broken the curse, winning 4-1 in a match that will be remembered for years to come. It's a story of redemption, determination, and the never-ending pursuit of victory.
