The FC Barcelona will face this Wednesday, October 23, in the UEFA Champions League against their recent nemesis in international competitions: Bayern Munich. This is not just a mere statement, as in the last six encounters between both teams, Barça has not been able to prevail against the Bavarians.
Moreover, since the 2014-15 season, Bayern Munich has clearly dominated, with an impressive record of 22 goals scored and only 4 conceded against Barcelona. In this history, the devastating 2-8 in the 2019-20 season stands out, resulting in elimination in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, a match still vividly remembered for the lopsided scoreline and the sense of inferiority it left among the Culés against the Bavarians.
Since that unfortunate encounter, in the four subsequent matches between both teams, Barcelona has not been able to score a single goal against Bayern Munich. Therefore, it is not unreasonable to state that facing the Bavarian team recently has been a true nightmare for the Blaugranas.
The Bayern's 'mockery' towards Barcelona to 'heat up' the Champions match
Precisely on the eve of this upcoming match between Barcelona and Bayern Munich, which will be the 16th encounter in history between both teams, the Bavarian side has taken to their social media to ramp up the anticipation for this match. They have done so perhaps with a touch of mischief and mockery, a move that has not been well received by more than one Culé fan.
Bayern Munich has used their Spanish social media profile (@FCBayernES) to share the following message: "Looking forward to Wednesday: To get in the mood, here are our latest goals in Barcelona," accompanying the text with a video of just over a minute showcasing the recent goals scored by 'Die Roten' against Barça in the Catalan capital.
Now we will have to see how the match unfolds, as while it is clear that the history does not favor FC Barcelona at all, currently the Culé club was enjoying a remarkable form. They have positioned themselves as one of the best teams in the world currently, with sufficient arguments to face Bayern Munich, which also arrives in good form. Therefore, it is anticipated that it will be a tremendous match, from which Barça hopes to emerge victorious and start improving their record against the Bavarians. Will they achieve it?
