Welcome to Standard Sport's LIVE coverage of Barcelona vs Bayern Munich.

Bayern outlined why they are the team to beat in this season's Champions League with a stunning 8-2 quarter-final demolition of Barcelona in Lisbon.

The German champions blitzed Barca with four goals in the opening 31 minutes, adding four more in the second, to set up a semi-final with Manchester City or Lyon.

It was a mesmerising performance, helped by a horror show from Barca as a brace from Thomas Muller was complemented by goals from Ivan Perisic and Serge Gnabry put them 4-1 up at the break.

Joshua Kimmich, Robert Lewandowski and a brace from Barca loanee Philippe Coutinho inflicted a heaviest ever European defeat on the Catalans as Hansi Flick's side ran riot.

Boss Quique Setien will pay the price for this embarrassment, coming after a limp end to their league campaign - and Standard Sport understands Mauricio Pochettino is the favourite to land the job as Barca plan an emergency meeting on Monday.
