This past matchday was momentous in the UEFA Champions League. Records were broken across many of the matches and an incredible forty goals were scored. Yet amidst the 7-0 demolishing of BATE Borisov by Shakhtar Donetsk and the destruction of Slovenian champions FC Maribor at the hands of José Mourinho’s Chelsea, one match stood out as the most imposing of the day:
AS Roma 1 – 7 FC Bayern Munich
Let that scoreline sink in. Upon his return to the Stadio Olimpico, Pep Guardiola and his merry men from Bavaria controlled the match from the kickoff, equalling Roma’s worst ever Champions League result – another 7-1 defeat against Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United team that ended their season as English champions.
