Bayern Munich v Barcelona Match Preview
Normally, you don’t get to see a team of Barcelona’s pedigree to take qualification down to the wire. However, such has been the Blaugrana’s plight in recent months. The Spaniards are in serious trouble in the league and desperately need a win in Germany in order to avoid the embarrassment of crashing out of the competition in group stages.
Julian Nagelsmann’s men are already in the next round of the competition and they have done it in style, scoring 19 goals in five games. The reigning German champions love scoring 5-0 wins which does not bode well for Barcelona who are in bad shape heading into this encounter.
New manager Xavi is still trying to understand the full scope of the problems he has inherited at Camp Nou. The Catalans have historically struggled in Germany and after losing a league game to Real Betis at home, confidence won’t be that great.
Benfica will play Dynamo Kyiv in the other game and the Portuguese outfit needs a win to go through. For Barcelona, anything less than three points will consign them to Europa League football.
