Barcelona – Bayern Munich

The Champions League is set to witness another rendition of a historically eventful tie this week as Barcelona take on Bayern Munich at the Camp Nou on Tuesday. Bayern Munich have tormented Barcelona in the past and will be intent on replicating their legendary successes against the Catalan giants.

Bayern have an exceptional record against Barcelona and have won eight out of 13 official fixtures played between the two teams. Barcelona have managed only three victories against Bayern Munich and will need to step up on Tuesday. The previous meeting between the two European giants famously ended in an 8-2 victory for the germans. The hosts  recorded their worst-ever defeat in a UEFA Champions League fixture on the day and have a point to prove this week.

Bayern Munich are not the invincible beast they were under Hansi Flick but the fact that they have scored 21 goals in their last three games should send a few shudders down Barcelona’s spine. The Catalans are unlikely to be humiliated again in front of their home crowd but Bayern Munich still hold the edge on paper.
