6. AC Milan 4-0 Barcelona (1994, European Final)
Barcelona had recently won the European Cup a few seasons before and was coming off an incredible fourth successive league triumph. AC Milan was missing Gullit, Van Basten, Baresi, and Rijkaard for the match. The exhausted Milan side had little hope of fighting the footballing insurgency that was the Dream Team and the strategic maestro that was Cruyff.
The match signified the end of a period A.C. Milan, who is known for their protective togetherness, ripped through the opposition as they completely overpowered the midfield through Desailly. There was no challenge, and it remains one of the most important European finals ever, with FC Barcelona coming in second for all the wrong reasons.
5. Bayern Munich 7-0 Barcelona (2013)
Bayern Munich had recently made history by winning the German League by an unprecedented margin and being relegated champions a month and a half before the last matchday. Barcelona was looking for ways to get back on track, striving to adjust to Pep’s arrival at the start of the period that marked the end of time. He had been reported as Bayern’s director by happenstance, and he was to take over the reins from the start of the following season.
Few teams have had as much control over Barcelona as Bayern did on those match days. In the following leg, they added three more goals and went on to defeat Dortmund at Wembley to win the competition. Barcelona fans still remember the nightmare, and it will go down in history as one of the worst overall scores in the club’s European history. Even though they won La Liga, the disappointment of the defeat overshadowed the joy of domestic glory.
4. Sevilla 11-1 Barcelona (1940 La Liga)
Even though it’s difficult to imagine Barcelona losing these days, let alone by 11 goals to one, Sevilla figured out how to achieve this feat during the 1940-1941 La Liga season.
Barcelona had taken the lead in the tenth minute only to be crushed by Sevilla’s stream of goals, which began in the 23rd minute and ended in the 83rd minute, for a total of eleven goals to Barcelona’s one.
Despite the heavy defeat, Barcelona finished fourth in the league, while Sevilla finished fifth.
3. Real Madrid 8-2 Barcelona (1935 La Liga)
Real Madrid humiliated Barcelona with an 8-2 victory after not losing to them in four years. Jamie Lazcano scored the game’s first goal in the fourteenth minute and went on to score a hat trick. Saudo scored four goals on the night, the most any player has ever scored in a match between the two teams.
Regueiro figured out how to get his name on the score sheet as well. This is the greatest margin of victory between the two clubs in a professional match.
2. Real Madrid 11-1 Barcelona (1943, Copa del Rey semi-final)
This is Barcelona’s worst defeat against their arch-rivals Real Madrid. It was Barca’s most humiliating setback since a 12-1 loss to Athletic Club in 1931. Real and Barça met in the semifinals of the Copa del Rey in 1943. Barca won the first leg game 3-0 at Camp Nou, but the second leg was a major disappointment. Real Madrid was under pressure to win a major game at home, and they succeeded.
In this game, there is a story about a goalkeeper’s wife who went to the movies with her friends on match day and fainted when she learned that her husband had conceded 11 goals. The presidents of Barcelona and Real Madrid, Enrique Pineyro, Marques de la Mesa de Asta, and Antonio Santos Peralba, were compelled to retire.
1. Bayern Munich 8-2 Barcelona (2020 Champions League Quarter-Final)
On August 14, 2020, Barcelona faced one of its darkest days in football history in Lisbon.
A Champions League quarter-final tie that was already stacked against them became a total nightmare with Quique Setien in charge. Bayern Munich defeated them 8-2 in a single game, as opposed to the usual double-leg ties in the competition.
Bayern poured up the pressure from the start, making the Blaugrana fans’ night seem endless. Luis Suarez sought to launch a comeback with a fantastic second goal, but it was far too late. To add to the misery, Barcelona’s record acquisition Philippe Coutinho scored a brace for Bayern and even assisted on one goal.
