After three minutes the home side go close to opening the scoring when Arjen Robben, running on to a splendid Alexis Sanchez back-heel, fires in a low effort from close range, which brings a smart save out of Victor Valdes Photograph: Christof Koepsel/Bongarts/Getty Images

After 25 minutes the home side take the lead courtesy of the head of Thomas Mueller. Robben clipped an overhit Franck Ribery corner back into the area towards the far post where Dante towered above Dani Alves and headed the ball back across the goal where the unmarked Muller stooped to head past Valdes Photograph: Christof Koepsel/Bongarts/Getty Images

Just three minutes into the second half the home side double their lead, and again it eminates from a set piece. Thomas Muller heads Arjen Robben's corner back across the face of goal from the far post to Mario Gomes ... Photograph: Odd Andersen/AFP/Getty Images

Barcelona have got a bit of a mountain to climb now. It's imperative that they don't concede again because as good as Barcelona are, it'd be very hard for them come back from three down Photograph: Michael Dalder/Reuters

That mountain Barca have to climb just got a whole lot bigger as Arjen Robben's fine finish from a tight angle makes it 3-0. Though Bayern are lucky that the goal stands as the officials either completely missed, or totally ignored, Thomas Muller acting as blocker, taking Jordi Alba out of the game to leave space for Arjen Robben to sally down from an inside-right position, before slotting the ball past Valdes into the bottom left-hand corner Photograph: Alex Grimm/Bongarts/Getty Images

Bayern Munich's players and fans celebrate, and rightly so Barcelona were torn apart by a rampant Bayern who were strong, powerful and quick on the break. The stats say it all, despite Barcelona having 66% of possession, Bayern Munich were the much more dangerous of the two teams with 15 shots on target to Barca's 4.
