"The domestic double holders rounded off Oktoberfest in Munich at the weekend with a 4-0 win over Werder Bremen thanks to goals from Arianna Caruso, Momoko Tanikawa, Linda Dallmann and Lea Schüller. It's been a positive start to the season with four wins, plus a goalless draw away at Carl Zeiss Jena, from the opening five Bundesliga fixtures. And with 13 goals scored and none conceded, it's been a good display in attack and almost flawless in defence so far."
"Barcelona have been typically dominant on the domestic front this season, winning all six of their league fixtures, conceding only one goal in the process and scoring a remarkable 31 goals of their own to take them top of the Liga F standings. Pere Romeu's team are among the favourites going into this season of the Champions League. Last year the Blaugranas made it all the way to the final but were beaten 1-0 by Arsenal."
"Bayern and Barcelona last met in the group stage of the 2022/23 Champions League. The Catalans dominated the first game and won 3-0 at home, but the Bavarian Frauen showed they can cut it at this level with a 3-1 victory in front of a then record crowd at the Allianz Arena. The sides had also previously faced off in the 2018/19 semi-finals, where 1-0 defeats in both legs saw Bayern's dreams of a maiden Champions League crown ended."
The match is scheduled at the Estadi Johan Cruyff on Tuesday with kick-off at 21:00 CEST. Bayern begin their Champions League campaign away to Barcelona, last season's runners-up and three-time European champions. Bayern are domestic double holders and recorded a 4-0 win over Werder Bremen through Arianna Caruso, Momoko Tanikawa, Linda Dallmann and Lea Schüller. Bayern have four wins and one goalless draw from five Bundesliga fixtures, scoring 13 and conceding none. Barcelona have won all six league matches, conceded one goal and scored 31 to top Liga F. Barcelona reached last season's final but lost 1-0 to Arsenal.
