Bayern vs Barcelona

Like all Bayern managers, Julian Nagelsmann will ultimately be judged by his performance in the Champions League as Xavi's Barcelona visit Munich.

Bayern still retain much of the side that delivered Champions League glory in 2020 under Hansi Flick but they have lost key components including Lewandowski, David Alaba and Javi Martínez. Bayern started their Champions League campaign with a solid 2-0 victory away at Inter Milan and that was enough, for now, to paper over the cracks being shown in the Bundesliga. The European Cup / Champions League is in its 68th season and a total of 22 different clubs have won the competition. Bayern have drawn their last three league games to drop to third in the table but few genuinely expect either Union Berlin or Freiburg to remain above the Bavarian powerhouse next May. Bayern Munich and Barcelona meet again in the Champions League on Tuesday at the Allianz Arena with both sides in search of their former identities. Xavi’s rebuild at Camp Nou is well underway: the former Barça midfielder’s achievements in less than a year at the helm should not be underestimated.

Without a doubt, Barcelona is one of the candidates to fight for the La Liga championship, but its most important objective is to fight to be among the best in the UEFA Champions League. The Bayern Munich winger is one of the most important promises for the team, he seeks to continue his development and continue to show that he is one of the best in his position. The Germans are in Group C, called the "Group of Death" along with Barcelona, Inter Milan and Viktoria Plzen. Lewandowski will be one of the 23 we see with the Poland team at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Now, his main goal is to establish himself as an important player in Bayern München's forward line and continue showing the great level of last season. Do not miss any details of the match with minute by minute and live online from VAVEL.

In the rest of defense, it's Jules Kounde on the right plus a center-back pairing of Ronald Araujo and Andreas Christensen, with Gerard Pique, Eric Garcia, and Jordi Alba all available as substitutes. Benjamin Pavard and Marcel Sabitzer are also back in the lineup as well, while young Jamal Musiala is part of the attack in place of Serge Gnabry. The young midfielder rips a left-footed shot, but the Bayern veteran produces a better save, flicking his leg out against his body's momentum to keep the shot out. The former Bayern man roasts the home defense with brilliant skill to get free, but he pokes a ninja-kick shot over the bar. In the aftermath, Raphinha goes down under a heavy challenge from Davies at the very edge of the penalty area, but it's waved away. 40th min: Bayern wastes a chance as two attackers crash into each other in the penalty area. He's through on goal with only Neuer to beat thanks to a great thread by Lewandowski, and he dinks his effort off the outside of the left post, out for a goal kick. Stunning work by Raphinha to tee up the star striker, but he blows it by taking a touch rather than hitting it first-time, which everyone in the stadium expected him to do. He offers a hand to help Musiala up, and it's snubbed, without even as much as eye contact from the German youngster. This second half has shown a different Bayern team than we've seen the last few weeks: pumped full of adrenaline and ready to slay a giant. Barcelona came into this match in much better form than Bayern, and it felt like Xavi's men were the favorites even on the road to a team that's given them fits over the years. Then halftime came and went, and a different Bayern team emerged from the tunnel, unrecognizable from the one that departed the Allianz Arena field at the break.

Polish marksman Robert Lewandowski returns to face Bayern Munich as Barcelona visit Bavaria in the Champions League.

Goals from Sane, Muller and Musiala were enough to see the Bundesliga giants to secure three points and a 100% group stage record. ‘I’ve seen both sides of the coin, beating them heavily and losing heavily against them, but we have never won at the Allianz and this speaks of how difficult a place it is to go and the task at hand, but we’re optimistic. Barcelona have never won at Bayern, who have triumphed in the last four meetings between the clubs with an overall score of 17-4, including an 8-2 thrashing in the 2020 quarter-finals.
