Barcelona take on the visitors Bayern Munich in the round 5 match of UEFA Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, October 26th at Camp Nou (Barcelona).
Barcelona had received some extremely painful blows this month. In the domestic arena, after an impressive series of victories, there was a meeting with Real Madrid. As a result, in El Clasico, the visitors from Catalonia had no chance - they lost 1-3. But there are still chances to fix everything - the season is still long. But in the Champions League, everything looks critical. In the last draw, "more than a club" already made a resounding failure, not leaving the group - then they lost the dispute for 2nd place to Benfica. At first, everything was going according to plan. First, Xavi's wards defeated the outsider, Victoria, and then lost in Munich. As expected, everything is decided in the head-to-head confrontation with Inter. And there the "bluagrana" could not show themselves. In Milan, they lost to the Italians, without responding to the only goal of Calhanoglu, and at the Camp Nou they limited themselves only to pulling out a 3-3 draw.

Bayern will now clearly be more focused on Bundesliga. There, in a competition that has long been perceived in Munich as "one's own backyard", with a single owner, a lot of misfires were made during the starting segment - more than, in other years, for a full draw. Of course, this needs to be corrected, since there is still plenty of time and meetings ahead. Failures did not affect performances in the Champions League. There, the wards of Julian Nagelsmann are close to repeating the 100% result in group stage. Despite the fact that the Germans had more serious opponents. And nothing, we figured it out without any special problems, judging by the score, with both Barcelona and Inter. Well, with the "Viktoria" initially did not expect any questions. In the 4th round, Bayern have already begun to use a number of bench players - and still managed to win. I wonder who the young mentor decides to take with him to Catalonia?
Bayern now have 5 head-to-head wins in a row against this rival. There were also 8-2 in 2020, even with Messi. Without him, Barcelona lost both matches last autumn and got another 0-2 in September. Bookmakers are giving very little advantage to Barcelona playing at home. But so far it is not clear how the visitors will be set - it is better to stop at pick "over than 3.0 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 scored goals.
