Barcelona, Aug 17: Quique Setien has been sacked as head coach of Barcelona on Monday after their astonishing Champions League thrashing by Bayern Munich.

Barcelona's horror show against Bayern was reportedly the final straw for the club's hierarchy.

The La Liga giants were humiliated in the Champions League quarterfinals on Friday following an 2-8 defeat to Bundesliga holders Bayern Munich.
