Barcelona vs Bayern Munich – LIVE!
Barcelona could hardly have asked for a more difficult assignment as they began their first Champions League campaign in the post-Lionel Messi era by hosting German giants Bayern Munich.
Messi ended his 21-year association with the Catalan club when he joined PSG this summer, with the Spanish club’s financial problems meaning they were unable to tie their talisman to a new contract.
The move sent shockwaves through European football and dampened expectations of what Ronald Koeman’s side might be able to achieve this season. After a good start to the La Liga campaign, they face their first major test as an already shifting Bayern side arrive at Camp Nou.
The 2019 Champions League winners beat RB Leipzig 4-1 away on Saturday, despite being only second in the Bundesliga at this early stage, two points behind Wolfsburg who made a perfect start four out of four for the countryside.
