    Was watching with two friends outside a bar in Germany and I was the only one supporting Bayern. One of them couldn’t take it seeing Bayern destroy Barca, so he left at halftime. That was actually hilarious. Dude isnt even a Barca fan, just hates Bayern until today, haha.

    Great Game, and even though they reached the Final before, this was the moment everyone knew that Bayern was back at the Top. After 10 years (between 2002 and 2012), where they realistically never were Top 3 in Europe.

  2. Special moment, because when Bayern faced Barcelona in the CL 2009, they were simply lightyears away.

    I still recall that this for me was the final confirmation that Bayern was not just right back there with the best European teams, but that they could dominate them in some nights.

  3. At that point, it was just pure bliss and utter amazement. Combined with that 3-0 in Barcelona, it was absolute madness!

    i was astonished the aggregate ended up being 7-0, ig that was foreshadowing for 7-1 against brazil and then 8-2 vs barca

  5. I remember watching it in a pub in Bremen.
    Around this time it became clear that Mario Götze will move to Bayern. I guess the commentator announced it during this game. The whole pub was so angry about this news.
    It was like Anakin Skywalker turning to the dark side for them.

  6. Javi Martinez and Schweinsteiger basically bullying one of the best midfields of all time was peak FC Bayern.

    On the morning of the game, a friend said he would invite us to watch at his home how Bayern would “destroy” Barca with four goals. He should be right…

    I had a feeling of now or never before that tie, but the result was similarly shocking as 8-2.

    I was at the stadium, still one of the most memorable matches I have ever been to. Feels like yesterday…

    I remember someone played a bet on 4:0 Bayern and 4:0 Dortmund vs Real Madrid. Guy would have made like 20k 

  11. My parents wouldn’t let ne watch it because it was too late and I was too young… (I was 11)
