Mortal football teams loftily set their sights on one trophy at the end of a season. The best though set their sights on six. This modern-day feat has been set by two outrageous teams - FC Barcelona in 2009 and FC Bayern Munich securing the sextuple recently in early 2021.
Not all football empires are created equally, nor do they last forever. In fact, the rise of Bayern has come at a time of Barça’s dreadful fall. The climax in this ascending and descending battle arose on 15 August 2020, where Barcelona lost a game of football 8-2 to Bayern which was the team’s biggest defeat in Europe and heaviest loss since 1946.
