Barcelona and Bayern Munich, the European giants, have met numerous times, and each encounter was memorable for millions of spectators. However, one cannot help but feel that one side has enjoyed these clashes much more than the other.Barcelona vs Bayern 🤤#UCL pic.twitter.com/wDgiXelSGn— UEFA Champions League (@ChampionsLeague) October 23, 2024 In the two rivals’ 13 matches, Bayern have emerged victorious as many as 10 times, losing only twice – the last time nine years ago in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals. Since then, the Catalans and the Bavarians played six matches, and the Bundesliga side won all of them with a terrifying aggregate score of 22-4! Moreover, Blaugrana failed to score against Bayern in the previous four duels, having managed to find the net for the last time back in 2020 in the devastating and catastrophic 8-2 defeat at Camp Nou.With Barcelona hosting Bayern tonight, we’d 8-2 forget to throw back to this iconic clash 😵🏆 pic.twitter.com/IJ0Y5uZzTO— OneFootball (@OneFootball) October 23, 2024 However, the La Liga side has an ace up its sleeve. Two, actually. And not just any two aces, but the ones involved in the aforementioned nightmarish ten-goal disaster in August four years ago – Hansi Flick and Robert Lewandowski. The first one spent five years as a player and two more as a manager in Munich, winning 13 trophies in total, including the Champions League in 2020. The other one – Bayern’s absolute legend. The man who wore the red jersey for eight years, making 375 appearances and scoring 344 goals, which puts him in second place among Bayern’s all-time top scorers.He reminds me of me, Barca legend opens up on YamalTonight, this ex-Bavarian duo will be Barcelona’s biggest hope. People who know what it looks like on the other side and what weaknesses could be exploited. However, just like they perceive Bayern, the Munich side knows them, and both Lewa and his boss must keep that in mind.Are Bayern becoming Man United’s supermarket?Each team leads its league and is in good form, while their score in the Champions League is equal – a win and a loss. Looking at squads – the impression is the same as both teams have their trusts. On one side, Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal, and Raphinha, and on the other Harry Kane, Jamal Musiala, and Michael Olise. Hence, everything is set for tonight’s derby, and only one dilemma remains: Will Bayern stage another nightmarish night for the packed Estadi de Montjuic, or will Barca serve the coldest vengeance to the Germans, supported by the two “renegades” from Munich?UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE – ROUND 3TuesdayAC Milan – Club Brugge 3-1 (1-0)/Pulisic 34, Reijnders 61, 71 – Sabbe 51/Monaco – Crvena Zvezda 5-1 (2-1)/Minamino 21, 70, Embolo 45+4, Singo 54, Akliouche 90+6 – Ndiaye 27 pen/Arsenal – Shakhtar 1-0 (1-0)/Riznyk 29 og/Aston Villa – Bologna 2-0 (0-0)/McGinn 55, Duran 64/Girona – Slovan B. 2-0 (1-0)/Gutierrez 42, Juanpe 73/Juventus – Stuttgart 0-1 (0-0)/Toure 90+2/PSG – PSV 1-1 (0-1)/Hakimi 55 – Lang 34/Real Madrid – Dortmund 5-2 (0-2)/Rudiger 60, Vinicius Jr. 63, 86, 90+3, Vazquez 83 – Malen 30, Gittens 34/Sturm – Sporting 0-2 (0-1)/Santos 23, Gyokeres 53/Wednesday19:45: (1.45) Atalanta (4.50) Celtic (7.00)19:45: (6.25) Brest (4.70) Leverkusen (1.48)22:00: (1.53) Atl.Madrid (4.00) Lille (6.75)22:00: (1.62) Benfica (3.90) Feyenoord (5.60)22:00: (1.07) Man.City (13.0) Sparta Praha (25.0)22:00: (4.00) RB Leipzig (3.60) Liverpool (1.90)22:00: (1.75) Salzburg (3.60) Dinamo Zagreb (4.90)22:00: (8.00) Young Boys (4.70) Inter Milan (1.40)***odds are subject to change***
