Smashed, demolished, etc.....

Is the following sentence correct?

Bayern Munich sent an ominous message to their Champions League rivals as they demolished/smashed Barcelona in a gloriously chaotic and utterly one-sided quarter-final tie in Lisbon.

Please note that the final result was Bayern Munich 8 Barcelona 2.

My question is this:

Would you please give me some other formal and informal/colloquial alternatives to "smashed" and "demolished"?

Thank you.
