Barcelona will be Bayern Munich’s next Champions League challenge. On the contrary, the Bavarians are not unfamiliar with this rival.
The truth that the Munich giants have crushed their Catalan opponent is undeniable, and the most terrible defeat occurred when the score was 8–2, which was when Hansi Flik was coach of Bayern Munich and now serves as the “helm” of Barcelona. The following list includes some of the most intriguing statistics pertaining to the teams in question.
Bayern has defeated Barcelona six times in a row. The only lengthier losing streak the Catalans have ever experienced in any competition was against their local rivals Real Madrid, which occurred between 1962 and 1965 and lasted for seven games straight. The Germans would also tie the record of Real Madrid’s seven Champions League victories over an opponent, which they accomplished against Ajax from 2010 to 2019, if they win again on Wednesday. Furthermore, Barcelona has lost all three of their most recent home games against German opponents and has not won any of their previous seven games against Bundesliga teams (1 tie, 6 losses).
In fact, in the last four confrontations at Bayern’s goal, Barça has failed to score at all. The Catalan powerhouses have never lost four European Cup games against a specific opponent without scoring. The final Barcelona player to breach the Bavarians’ defence during the 8-2 loss in the 2019–20 Champions League quarterfinals was Luis Suarez.
Fans of Germany’s record holders are familiar with current Barcelona coach Hansi Flik, who guided the team to Champions League success in the 2019–20 season. In his 20 games as a manager in this competition, he has won 17 of them so far (85%), including 18 when leading the Munich club. Among managers who have overseen at least three Champions League games, this is the manager with the highest victory rate. In their first 20 games as the competition’s manager, no one else has ever won 17 times.
Preferred Rival With eight goals and two assists in his nine Champions League games for the Catalans, Tomas Myler enters this match with a stellar record. The only player who has personally contributed to more Champions League goals against a single team is Cristiano Ronaldo (12 against Juventus).
Bayern’s first Champions League loss under the new format came in the second leg, where they lost 1-0 against Aston Villa. Vincent Kompani’s trustees will try to make things better. This match is even more exciting since, after two games—one win and one loss—even Barcelona is in the same situation.
