FC Barcelona VS Bayern Munich : Preview

UEFA Champions League Quarter Final LIVE: Barcelona vs Bayern ...

Barcelona vs Bayern Munich, the pick of the quarter finals with both teams tied at 5 Uefa Champions League titles, both will be desperate to add one more to their tally given the revised rules after continuous failures of both the teams in the competition in recent years despite possessing star studded line ups. Unquestionably, the winner of this tie will be a strong favourite to win this year’s competition as all other teams have a combination of zero Uefa Champions League titles between them. As things stand, Bayern are in red hot form but can we ever rule out Barca when Messi is in their ranks. 

Players to miss out 

FC Barcelona

Samuel Umtiti - Player profile 19/20 | Transfermarkt

Barca will again be without the services of Samuel Umtiti due to a prolonged knee injury. The
return of Vidal and Busquets augurs well for the team while it remains to be seen if Dembele will
be involved in the game after being named in the squad after 260 days.


Bayern Munich

Benjamin Pavard - Player profile 19/20 | Transfermarkt

Benjamin Pavard is set to miss out owing to ankle injury concerns which implies Kimmich will
have to perform right back duties.


Players to watch out 

FC Barcelona  

Lionel Messi

Barca will continue to look up towards Messi, which has often been the case, lately. The out of
the world solo goal against Napoli was one of many such instants where he showed us to
believe in magic and yet another stupendous performance from him can guarantee his side’s
place in the semis.

Nelson Semedo

Whether it will be outrunning the electrifying Davies or coming up with the best cross, Semedo
needs to be on the top of his game yet again. His work rate has been impressive throughout the
season and Barca now need him more than ever.


Bayern Munich

Robert Lewandowski

Bundesliga | Why Robert Lewandowski should have won this year's ... 

Unstoppable at the moment, to say the very least. With 13 goals in 7 UCL games and 34 goals
in the league campaign, he has been the most lethal striker around. He has been banging goals
at will and Bayern will heavily rely on him to make the difference.

Thiago Alacantra and Alphonso Davies

Bayern Munich still trying to negotiate new contracts with David ... 

Thiago’s creativity in midfield will be crucial alongwith the lightning Davies, who has been on a
roll this season. It will be interesting to see how Thiago adapts if Barca play a high pressing
game.


Preview
With Barca given the title of underdogs, it may turn out to be a blessing in disguise for them as
they may bring out their A game as often they have succumbed to pressure in crunch matches.
As for Bayern, scoring seems too easy for them but will they come out on top in this fixture
involving the 5 time champions?

VAR: Boon or Bane?

  Ever since its introduction, VAR has sparked controversies all around the globe. While it was believed before its introduction that it would reduce the human errors and provide the referees a second chance to rectify their mistakes, it now has left us pondering whether technology intervention was required in the first place.      The good point is that no foul committed can possibly go unnoticed but the disadvantages are far more with the most disturbing being it stops the flow of the game every now and then and this doesn’t augur well for the beautiful game as the frequent stoppages are disturbing both for the players and the audiences. By this time, we already know there have been a record number of penalties awarded in this season’s Premier League and credit goes to VAR for awarding them without much hesitation. For the first time ever we saw a team score after the final whistle. Yes, you heard that right. Manchester United’ s game against Brighton was completed...

EL CLASICO : PREVIEW

As Camp Nou gets ready to host the first Clasico of the season, both clubs in their own rebuilding phase will look to get one over their arch rivals. Both clubs have had rather inconsistent starts to the season, by their lofty standards. With the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, this fixture has somewhat lost its glory but the political reasons behind the rivalry will continue to fuel this fixture.  FC Barcelona have come from a nightmare season,not winning any trophy and conceding 8 against Bayern Munich. With renewed hope, under Dutch boss Ronald Koeman, they have started pretty poorly in La Liga, winning two of their four matches. Although it is very early in the season, Barcelona are languishing at tenth in the table. With all the behind the scenes drama, they have coped pretty well. Lionel Messi will be their star man as usual. Coutinho has done well on his return to the club. Griezmann hasn’t yet found his feet in Catalonia. All eyes would be on Gerrard Pique, who got a red ca...

UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: 2020-21

It's already been two months since that famous night in Lisbon where Bayern conquered their 2nd treble equalling the record of Barcelona in the process of highest number of trebles.         Now, the group stages has some mouth watering fixtures, the most notable being PSG v/s Man U. After that embarrassing night in Paris where the French outfit lost to a young Man U team even after having a healthy lead in the first leg, PSG have come a long way and were only second to Bayern Munich last time around. PSG have a strong team and their only main concern would be their defence after their long serving captain played his last match in the UCL final. Their forward and midfield line do not have much change and will look forward to carry on the form that they displayed last time around. On the other hand United have plenty of problems from their defence to attack. Their uninspiring captain Maguire has led them down more than once with the attackers struggling ...
