Barcelona's landslide 8-2 loss to Bayern Munich in the Champions League quarter-finals is one of the team's worst defeats in a single match.
But Barcelona's sweeping defeat was not the worst in the history of the ancient club, as it comes within five severe historical defeats that came as follows:
Seville-Barcelona 11-1 (La Liga 1940)
Barcelona took a 10-minute lead before Sevilla scored all of their goals within an hour between the 23rd and 83rd in Barcelona's heaviest defeat in any competition.
Oddly, Barcelona finished fourth in the 1940-1941 season, while Seville finished fifth.
Real Madrid - Barcelona 8-2 (La Liga 1935)
Fernando Sanudo scored 4 goals for Real Madrid, which is the most number recorded by a player in the confrontations of the two teams, and Jaime Lazcano added a hat-trick.
Regero scored a goal for Real to celebrate the biggest victory in the two teams' confrontations in any competition.

Bayern Munich-Barcelona 8-2 (Champions League 2020) The
heaviest European defeat for Barcelona in one match did not seem to have happened when David Alaba canceled his own goal by Thomas Muller’s early advance to Bayern in the fourth minute in the Champions League quarter-final in Lisbon.
But Barcelona collapsed in front of the ferocity of Bayern after Ivan Perisic returned to the German champion who ended the first half 4-1, and Luis Suarez reduced the difference, but substitute Philippe Coutinho, on loan from Barcelona to Bayern, capped the landslide victory by scoring the last two goals.
The victory reminded the minds of Bayern's 7-0 victory over Barcelona in the aggregate result of the home and second matches before the 2013 Champions League final, when Bayern first won their home 4-0 and then won 3-0 at Camp Nou.

Liverpool - Barcelona 4-0 (Champions League 2019)
Barcelona seemed close to the European competition final with a 3-0 home victory, but suffered an uprising at Anfield in the second leg.
Liverpool lost the prominent attacking double, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino in the second leg, but the English team achieved an amazing result at home.
Striker Divock Origi scored the fourth goal after he came on as a substitute for Jorginho Wijnaldum, who scored an early double in the second half.
Milan-Barcelona 4-0 (Champions League Final 1994)
Barcelona, full of players such as Romario, Ronald Koeman and Pep Guardiola, were favorites to beat their Italian rivals.
Milan, however, punished their opponents with decisive counterattacks, and striker Daniele Massaro gave him a 2-0 lead in the first half.
Dejan Savicevic settled the match with a superb goal, before Marcel Desailly finished the quartet.
