Matthäus: “It hurts to see a team that has excited us for so many years like this”

Former German international Lothar Matthäus said on Friday that It hurts to see a team that, like Barcelona, ​​excited the world for so many years, as seen tonight when they fell to Bayern 2-8.

“It pains me to see a team like Barcelona that excited us all for so many years as we saw it tonight,” Matthäus said in a comment to the Sky channel. “I saw Bayern as favorites but not at that extremeI never thought they were going to score eight goals but the six goal difference shows the difference that was seen on the field, “he added.

Matthäus said that Barcelona will need a radical change and that a change of coach will not suffice but will need many new players. “It is not enough to change the coach, They need a lot of new players and I don't think they are in a position to spend as much money as they have done so far“, said.
