A lot has changed at Barcelona in the last 12 months and they are coming to this competitions with a worst league finish since 2007/08 season. The team’s woes are further worsened by the financial crisis and the exit of Lionel Messi. However they come into this game unbeaten in 3 La Liga matches.

Bayern on the other hand started life under Julian Nagelsmann in fine fashion. Their last 3 games in Bundesliga alone saw 12 goals and their latest is a thumping 4-1 win away at fellow title contenders RB Leipzig.

Whatever the current form is, on the field there is a big mismatch between the teams. The Munich based club has a well-settled squad with every senior player performing at the highest level.

On the other hand, this Catalan outfit is a work in progress. They have several youngsters coming through the system, but few seasons away from emulating the era of Messi and co.

在过去的12个月里，巴塞罗那发生了很大的变化，他们带着自2007/08赛季以来最差的联赛成绩来参加这场比赛。由于金融危机和梅西的退出，这支球队的困境进一步恶化。然而，他们在西甲三场比赛中保持不败。

另一方面，拜仁在朱利安·内格尔斯曼的领导下开始了良好的生活。他们最近在德甲的3场比赛中就打进了12球，最近的一场是客场4-1大胜同为冠军争夺者的莱比锡。

无论目前的状态如何，在赛场上两支球队之间存在着巨大的不匹配。这家总部位于慕尼黑的俱乐部拥有一支稳定的球队，每一位资深球员都在最高水平上发挥。

另一方面，这个加泰罗尼亚的组织还在进行中。在这个体系中，他们有几个年轻球员，但很少有几个赛季可以模仿梅西和其他球员的时代。
