The last team to score eight or more goals in this competition were Real Madrid when they hammered FC Wacker Innsbruck 9-1 in the last 16 of 1990-91 season of the then European Cup.
Barcelona suffered defeat by a six-goal margin for the first time since April 1951 when the Catalan side were beaten 6-0 in a La Liga match by Espanyol.
The Spanish giants conceded eight goals for the first time in 74 years when they were embarrassed 8-0 by Sevilla in Copa del Rey in 1946.
German powerhouse Bayern have engraved their name in the semi-final of the Champions League for the 12th time, and they are bettered by only Real Madrid (13).
Bayern's star striker Robert Lewandowski became the first player to put himself on the score-sheet in eight or more consecutive Champions League matches since Cristiano Ronaldo in April 2018 (11 games).
