Exactly, while Barcelona had all the reason to do something, but couldn't, and didn't even attempt to.
Koeman defended his approach and said he thought they'd lose more clearly if they didn't play 5ATB, and also very cheaply brought up the young players he played (mostly after the game was decided)
As overwhelmed as Barcelona were in that 8-2, they at least went for it then, they caused some trouble on their own, and 3 of the goals came in the last 10mins when they were already very much dead.
In the 8-2, we played without a manager, since there was total disconnection between the managers and the amigos who were effectively running the team and disobeyed tactics and such. Can't compare. It was a completely broken down team and played like one.
This 0-3 is just a team without any identity, with not good enough players (old and slow) and a mediocre manager, getting beaten by a Bayern playing at 50%.
