Barcelona vs. Bayern. Coach Nagelsmann believes the Catalans have not weakened

Barcelona will challenge Bayern at home in the first match of the Champions League group stage, a match of which they do not have very positive memories. However, the Catalans lost their last encounter 2:8 and it is expected that they will not be the team to celebrate the victory at the end of the match.

Barcelona fans were certainly not happy when they were drawn in a group with Bayern Munich. However, it was Bayern who inflicted a heavy defeat on them.

More than a year has passed since that game, yet it is a big warning. The Catalan club is certainly no stronger than it was then. On the contrary.

The team no longer has the famous trio of Griezmann – Suárez – Messi. However, the team is rested and has not played a match since the end of the national break, so as not to allow a similar debacle.

“We will certainly never forget the 2020 game, but these are two group games and we are looking towards them. We are looking forward to starting our Champions League journey this season,” Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer told UEFA.

“They no longer have someone as extravagant as Messi, but they have other difference players. We are ready for anything. I don’t think they are worse off than before. In any case, we want three points,” Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann said.

The match kicks off at 9pm and you can watch it on Premier Sport 2.
