Xavi Hernandez's team are still clearly rebuilding after the departure of [Lionel Messi](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/45843/Lionel-Messi) to PSG last year and they looked a level below Bayern who once again inflicted a humbling defeat on the five-time Champions League winners. [Viktoria Plzen](/soccer/team?id=11706), so now it will all come down to who does best when they meet in back-to-back matchdays on Oct. [Viktoria Plzen](/soccer/team?id=11706) are in last place. And the win means Bayern have now won by a margin of 19 goals to Barcelona's four during their five-game streak, including the infamous 8-2 quarterfinal victory in Lisbon in 2020.

Barcelona left to rue missed chances as Bayern Munich comes out ... (CNN)

For eight seasons, Bayern Munich fans had become accustomed to watching Robert Lewandowski find the back of the net on almost a weekly basis.

"In the first half, Barcelona had the better chances than us," Nagelsmann said. "But I'm also feeling proud of the team," he added. "Our first half display merited much more than 0-0 at halftime, but of course, if you fail to put chances away against a big rival like Bayern, you'll end up paying."

Barcelona had a thorough clear out this summer, reducing their squad size and selling off a number of role players at Camp Nou.

In 10 league and Champions League appearances, [Jutgla](https://www.football-espana.net/tag/ferran-jutgla) has 6 goals and 4 assists. The Belgian champions have a 100% record so far and if Jutgla can continue his current form, he will be handful for a shaky Colchonero defence. The Catalan forward arrived at Barcelona Atletic last summer from Espanyol B and made an impact there, scoring 19 goals and assisting 6 times in 32 Primera RFEF appearances.

Barcelona took Bayern Munich's star this summer, but the German side continue to torment the Spanish giants with or without Robert Lewandowski.

World-class wingers aren't allowed to be as wasteful as Dembele was because, wow, was he wasteful. Lewandowski was all smiles before the match, greeting his former team-mates in the tunnel. With the game still scoreless after a strong Barcelona first half, Alonso completely turned off for a set piece.

Bayern Munich - Barcelona live online: score, stats and updates ... (AS English)

A huge Champions League night at the Allianz Arena as Bayern Munich face FC Barcelona in Matchday 2 of Group C.

Bayern lie in third place with the Bavarians on 12 points from three wins and three draws. Barça have played Bayern a total of 13 times in official European competition and have only won two of those encounters, with two draws. Goals from Sane, Muller and Musiala were enough to see the Bundesliga giants to secure three points and a 100% group stage record. Many Barcelona fans concerned about the inclusion of Marcos Alonso in the starting XI for the game in Munich. Barcelona have shipped 14 goals in their past three UCL meetings with Bayern and will feature a back four of Alonso (who makes his FCB debut), Kounde, Araujo and Christensen. All over in Plzen and Inter get off the mark with a 0-2 win... ‘I’ve seen both sides of the coin, beating them heavily and losing heavily against them, but we have never won at the Allianz and this speaks of how difficult a place it is to go and the task at hand, but we’re optimistic. Despite leaving the German club with a hint of bad blood with the board, it's clear that the Polish striker s fondly regarded by the players and Bayern fans. Just minutes away now from kick-off and a massive European night awaits as two of the continents biggest sides do battle. Bayern in all red, Barcelona in their third kit of grey with a azul-grana cross. Alonso with Barcelona's first corner of the night... So close from Raphina as the Brazilian strikes and is agonizingly close....

Local reports back in the day claimed the badge choice could have been linked to a desperate shout from one of the club executives at the start of the 20th century. The reports claimed that Barcelona’s president, Gamper, felt inspired by the words and chose a design that was the shape of an actual pot.
