Bayern vs Barcelona: Kick off time, prediction, TV, live stream, Champions League preview team news, h2h

Matt Verri13 September 2022

Robert Lewandowski tonight makes a swift return to his former club as Bayern Munich host Barcelona in the Champions League.

The striker left Bayern in the summer in what appeared at various points to be an acrimonious departure and he already has nine goals, including a Champions League hat-trick, to his name for Barcelona.

He was part of a Bayern side that in recent years have proved far too good against the La Liga club when they have met, but Xavi and his team are in far better shape than they have been for many seasons.

It promises to be an entertaining night in Munich, with both sides looking to build on a winning start to their Group C campaign.
