The loss to Bayern shows how far Barcelona have fallen.
Barcelona was eliminated from the group stage for the first time since 2000 in Alejandro's opinion. The time has been added.
6:25 PM
The club's early exit from the European Championship will serve as a point of inflection and a new era at Camp Nou.
Goals from Thomas Muller, Leroy Sane, and Jamal Musiala earned the Germans a win at the Allianz Arena and a place in the New Year's tournament.
The loss shows how far Xavi has to go.

The round-of-16 draw has seedings, date and details.
It is the first time since 2003 that the Catalan club will not be in the knockout stages of the competition.
The loss in Munich was a wake-up call for Xavi, who was the new coach.
"Bayern dominated us," he said. We always want to dominate but it was not the case here. We need to demand more. We're called Barcelona. This must be a point of change.
This is our reality, but this is also the European League. It's the situation we're in. I'm angry. It pisses me off that this is the reality. We have to tackle it. There's nothing else to do.
A new era begins today. We start from zero. We have to try and win the European Championship, not the Europa League.
The two wins and a draw that Xavi's return to Barcelona began with were followed by a home defeat to Real Betis in LaLiga, which left them in seventh place.
"I've seen how hard reality is," Xavi said. I was hoping we would compete better. They are better. That is the reality. We're going to work hard and give our all so that this doesn't happen again. It's a feeling of being powerless.
Barcelona's Xavi Hernandez yelled instructions to his team during their loss to the Germans.
We have to get them back where they belong, which is not in the Europa League. This is a big blow for me as a coach. We have to change a lot, but we will work hard to bring Barcelona back.
Since winning the European Championship in 2015, Barcelona have declined. They have lost to Paris Saint-Germain twice and to AS Roma twice.
Over the last 16 months, they've been beaten by the Germans three times: 8-2, 2-0 and 2-0.
Muller said that he didn't think Barcelona could cope with the intensity. They have great players tactically and technically. They can't handle the intensity of football.
Muller opened the scoring in the 34th minute, with Sane adding the second in a one-sided contest from distance just before the break. Musiala scored in the second half after good work from Alphonso Davies.
The win ensures that they progress with a 100 percent record for the second time, despite the fact that they had already booked their place in the last-16.
They're joined in the knockout stages by Benfica, who beat Dynamo Kiev 2-0 on Wednesday to leapfrog Barcelona into second place in Group E.
