The match will be played this Wednesday, at the Allianz Arena stadium, at 3:00 p.m.
FC Barcelona visits the mighty Bayern Munich on Wednesday at 3:00 p.m., forced to win if it wants to be in the round of 16 of the Champions without having to look towards Lisbon, where Benfica meet Dinamo Kiev.
The azulgrana team remains in second place in group E, but only two points above Benfica, so any other result that is not winning in Munich would force them to be aware that the Portuguese do not win their match to qualify either.
The hopes of achieving a victory in Germany are based on the good presentations that Barça has had in LaLiga since the arrival of Xavi Hernández as coach.
The Barça strategist has been praising the attitude and work of his players, admitting that there is room for improvement, especially in the offensive area.
But, the defeat on Saturday at the Camp Nou in the League against Betis (1-0) again raised doubts about the level of Barça and their chances in Europe, where the last time they were out of the group stage was in the 2000/2001 season.
The scoring quota is another problem, since he only scored two goals in five Champions League matches, compared to the 19 goals scored by his German rival on Wednesday, who conceded a 3-0 on the first day of the group stage of the continental tournament.

For its part, Bayern Munich will face the commitment without any need, having already secured their classification as first in the group, and with the motivation to win the last game against Borussia Dortmund to continue being the leader.
Because, coach Julian Nagelsmann would choose to make minor modifications to his starting elevenAlthough it will present a competitive team to win at the Allianz Arena.
???? On the rival: “Barcelona is a very good team, they still have world-class players. They are under pressure in qualifying and will give it their all. That will be good for the game. For us, it’s not so much about kicking anyone out , but to get three points “.#UCL pic.twitter.com/3qj8OhiNIu
