The UEFA Champions League is all set to feature one of the highly anticipated matches tonight, as Barcelona will take on Bayern Munich at Estadio Olimpic. The rivalry between the two teams went wild when Bayern Munich humiliated FC Barcelona in the Champions League 2020, thrashing the Spanish side by an 8-2 margin.

“We have to leave the past behind. We can’t change that. But we can influence what happens on Wednesday. We have to give our very best and beat Bayern Munich,” said Barca boss.

Hansi Flick, the manager of Barcelona, was in charge of Bayern in this match. Robert Lewandowski was also in Bayern’s squad and scored a goal for the Bavarians. However, Hansi Flick and Lewandowski are now eager to meet their former club with great excitement.

“Bayern is a very important club for me, but now I am coach of Barça and I am very happy to be here. I’m living a wonderful new chapter in my life, and I sense that the fans are sharing that passion with me,” Hansi Flick talked about his new chapter with Barcelona.

In addition, Barcelona have a tight fixture ahead. After tonight’s high-voltage match, they will have to play another big match. They will face off against Real Madrid within four days at Santiago Bernabeu. “The players who want to play for this club have to be big enough to be ready for challenges like this. We’ve worked hard to take three points home tomorrow,” said Barca winger Raphinha.

Prediction: Barcelona 3-1 Bayern Munich

Barcelona have been flying under Hansi Flick. They are ruthless and aggressive. Barcelona have scored 13 goals in their last three matches while conceding only one.

Meanwhile, Bayern are a tough opponent but their performance against top teams are is not decent enough. They lost to Aston Villa in their last UCL game, while they also failed to win against Bayer Leverkusen in the previous match. Therefore, we expect Barcelona to win the match against Bayern Munich tonight.
