Barcelona legend Johan Cruyff has dismissed suggestions that the club are coming to 'the end of an era' after their Champions League exit to Bayern Munich in the semi-finals on Wednesday evening.
The La Liga leaders were hammered 7-0 over the two legs by the Bundesliga champions, leading to many suggesting that Barca's time as one of the most dominant teams in Europe is over.
"[The end of an era] doesn't exist, it's just a piece of nonsense someone said," Cruyff told AS.
"It's simply a matter of mistakes made by the club's directors. That happens."
Despite their humbling in the European competition, Tito Vilanova's side currently lead La Liga by eight points with a game in hand over second-placed Real Madrid.
Barca host Real Betis this evening.
