Including <em>that 8-2 <\/em>thrashing at the Camp Nou in the 2019\/20 quarter-final.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Barca&#8217;s record against the Bavarians is very one-sided. In their 13 encounters, the Spanish side have won on just three occasions. 33 goals have been shipped in the process with just 13 scored.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the last four consecutive meetings have all ended in defeat with zero goals scored. Domestically, the Catalan side head into the encounter in a rich vein of form.<\/p>\n<p>With nine wins from ten, Barca are three points clear at the top of the table ahead of bitter rivals Real Madrid. The two lock horns in El Clasico this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>For Flick, his Champions League record is truly outstanding. In his 20 matches, he has won 17 times. More than any other gaffer in the competition&#8217;s history after the same number of games.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udd25 WEDNESDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL \ud83d\udd25<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Bar%C3%A7aBayern?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Bar\u00e7aBayern<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/igHQCBjBcg\">pic.twitter.com\/igHQCBjBcg<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FCBarcelona\/status\/1848559909916578179?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 22, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Bayern Munich<\/h3>\n<p>With such an impressive record against their opponents, Bayern Munich will be licking their lips at the prospect of adding to their winning tally.<\/p>\n<p>A seventh consecutive victory over Barcelona will equal a Champions League record.

The ever-reliable super-sub Jhon Duran netted a spectacular late winner.<\/p>\n<p>That defeat ended the Bavarians 41-game unbeaten run in the Champions League group stages. A sequence that was started in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>In the Bundesliga on the weekend, Hansi Flick&#8217;s side thrashed Stuttgart 4-0 to remain top of the league. A certain Harry Kane hit a fine treble.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of the titanic clash, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/betting-sites\/football\/\">best football betting<\/a> sites in the UK make Barca the slight match favourites at 7\/5.

Dani Olmo is also expected back in the matchday squad.<\/p>\n<p>In goal, Inaki Pena is set to keep his place but the likes of Marc Bernal, Ferran Torres, Andreas Christensen and Ronald Araujo are all out.<\/p>\n<p>Polish superstar Robert Lewandowski will lead the line against his former club. He will be supported by Euro 2024 winner Lamine Yamal and Raphinha.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <strong>Bayern Munich<\/strong> are expected to be missing German international Jamal Musiala. Josip Stanisic, Sacha Boey and will also be absent for Hansi Flick&#8217;s side.<\/p>\n<p>Summer signing Michael Olise will start on the wing with England captain Harry Kane up top.
