5 worst defeats of Lionel Messi's career

#2 2012/13 UEFA Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich categorically dismantled Barcelona

In the first-leg of the 2012/13 UEFA Champions League semi-finals tie, Bayern Munich demolished the Catalan giants 4-0 at the Allianz Arena. This was Barcelona's worst defeat in Europe since 1997.

Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova gambled on an unfit Lionel Messi and he looked completely off-colour throughout the 90 minutes. Barcelona was completely outplayed on the night. Things went from bad to worse for Barcelona at the Camp Nou.

Notably, Lionel Messi was an unused substitute in the second leg as Bayern Munich ran riot at the Camp Nou to defeat Barcelona 3-0 on the night and 7-0 on the aggregate. This was one of Barcelona's worst defeat in a two-legged Europen tie.
