It is expected that the match will witness a great rivalry because it is considered revenge for the disastrous memory of the Spanish champion after the loss in the last confrontation between them with eight goals to two goals in favor of the Bavarian in the same competition.
Today’s match is expected to witness a special conflict between Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman and Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann, in light of the unbridled desire to compete strongly for the title of the current edition.
Koeman seeks to win against Bayern to erase the bad image after the last confrontation between them, in addition to sending a strong message to all competitors that Barca is coming to compete for all titles this season, after he arranged his papers by strengthening the ranks after the sudden departure of Argentine star Lionel Messi to Paris Saint-Germain..
On the other hand, Nagelsmann hopes to continue the superiority of Bavarian against Barcelona, in addition to continuing to provide a distinguished level this season, similar to what he presents in the German League championship..
The two teams have faced each other in the Champions League 9 times, Barcelona won only two matches, while Bayern Munich won 6 matches, and only one match ended in a draw.
