Barcelona 6-1 Shakhtar Donetsk – 2010-11
The 2010-11 season was Pep Guardiola’s third season in charge and would result in his second European Cup as a coach.
Barcelona were not, however, at that time looking like an all-conquering side. In the last 16, they had stared elimination by Arsenal in the face, having trailed 3-1 to the English side on aggregate with just the final quarter of the second leg to be played. Lionel Messi and Xavi, though, propelled them through.
By the quarter-finals, they were really starting to hit their groove, though. Shakhtar Donetsk felt the full brunt of their brilliance at Camp Nou in the first leg of the quarter-final.
Andres Iniesta opened the scoring before two minutes were played, while Dani Alves and Gerard Pique soon added further goals. Yaroslav Rakitskiy’s reply on the hour mark simply seemed to provoke the home side, who added two more as Seydou Keita and Xavi struck.
One name was notably missing from the scoresheet in the first leg, that of Messi. He made his presence felt in the return, netting the only goal of the game shortly before the interval to further stamp the Catalans’ impact on the tie.
Six weeks later, they were European champions, with Real Madrid pushed aside in the semi-final before Manchester United were seen off 3-1 at Wembley.
