Bayern Munich has gotten the better of Barcelona in recent encounters – the 8-2 mauling in 2020, the back-to-back 3-0 victories in the group stages of the competition last year.
Now, let’s take a look at the compared starting lineup.
Goalkeeper
Manuel Neuer’s leadership skills, distribution skills, and sweeper keeper abilities give him the edge in the lineup.
Defence
Ronald Araujo and Eric Garcia are easy picks for the center-back position. Jules Kounde has done very well while playing in the right-back position. Alphonso Davies is the winner for the left-back position.
Midfield
Joshua Kimmich will always be included in midfield. The two remaining slots go to Barcelona’s Pedri and Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala.
Forward
The ex- Bayern Munich superstar Robert Lewandoski has been banging goals for Barcelona. He scored his first Barcelona hat-trick in the Champions League last week. Barcelona Ousmane Dembele edges over Leroy Sane, Kingsley Coman, and Serge Gnabry.
The Frenchman is in good form for Barcelona with his goals, assists, pace, and dribbles causing problems for defenders. The final slot in the attack goes to the ex- Liverpool player, Sadio Mane.
