Three key stats from Bayern Munich 3-0 Barcelona

The final matchday of the Europa League ends in defeat for Barcelona, who could not, as everyone expected, defeat Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena. The game started well for the visitors, who created three chances to score, but could not convert their efforts.

Once Robert Lewandowski found an opening behind the Barça defence in the 34th minute, the floodgates opened. Nine minutes later, a swerving shot from Leroy Sane beat Marc-Andre ter Stegen as the hosts doubled their lead.

Alphonso Davies found a way past Ronald Araujo in the second half, setting up a tap-in for Jamal Musiala. The final scoreline read 3-0, but in all honesty, it could have been worse.

There are a few more numbers that concern those wearing the Senyera kit tonight, and Barça Universal runs the rule over them.

Thomas Muller is a relentless presence against Barcelona and has only gone to improve his record against them. After a man-of-the-match display tonight, including a goal, he’s now scored seven.

Müller has scored 7 goals in 8 games against Barcelona in the Champions League. It's the most of any player against Barça in the history of the CL.

Sergio Busquets had a game to forget. He was hit in the face early on, and beaten multiple times in the midfield by Thomas Muller and Jamal Musiala. All on his 650th appearance.

Tonight marks Sergio Busquets' 650th appearance for Barcelona in all competitions. He becomes the fourth player to reach this milestone (Messi, Xavi, Iniesta).

All this brings us back to Lionel Messi. The Barcelona legend has advanced to the Round of 16 of the UCL for PSG, but playing without him in the UCL for the first time since 2004, Barcelona have not. Shocker.

Lionel Messi played at least one game for Barcelona in the CL group stages every season since 2004. Barcelona advanced from the group stages every year since then.
