Champions League: Bayern Munich vs FC Barcelona live
Preview
Arguably the most anticipated game of the week, Barcelona travel away to face German champions Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena in the Champions League. The match kicks off at 7:00 pm(GMT) with Danny Desmond Makkelie from the Netherlands in charge as the center referee. With so much history between these two clubs over the years, today’s game promises to be entertaining on all ground as Barcelona seek to revenge their recent defeats to Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich have been impressive so far this season. In their opening nine games of the season across all competitions, the Bavarians have avoided defeat in each one of them, winning six and drawing three. Their last match was a disappointing 2-2 draw at home to VfB Stuttgart with goals from Mathys Tel and Jamal Musiala only securing a point for Julian Nagelsmann’s men. Hoping to return to winning ways, today’s match presents a great opportunity to send a clear message across Europe as they seek to win their seventh European Cup/UEFA Champions League title.
Barcelona have been impressive in all competitions so far this season. The Blaugranas are yet to taste defeat this season, winning five of their opening six competitive games so far. At the back of a comfortable 4-0 win over Cadiz over the weekend, Xavi’s men will be full of confidence heading to Munich as they seek to record their first win over Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena.
Head -to-head
The last five meetings between Bayern Munich and Barcelona have been dominated by the German club with four wins for Bayern and a win for Barcelona. Their last meeting was a 3-0 win for Bayern Munich at home in the group stages of the Champions League last season. Thomas Muller, Leroy Sane and Jamal Musiala were the goal scorers on the night.
Prediction
Barcelona have been great this season. With the addition of former Bayern Munich striker Lewandowski to their front line, Barcelona are more than capable of scoring goals at the Allianz Arena today. However, Bayern Munich have dominated these game in recent times and will be hoping to add yet another win today. Goals are expected to be scored on both ends but a win for Bayern Munich today is the most probable outcome.
