But do I think Bayern Munich can beat Barcelona?
I don't know, Bayern Munich is a strong team and it has been proven season after season. But for this season I think Barcelona will not be so easily defeated by Bayern Munich considering the quality of Barcelona at this time is quite reliable. I'd prefer to see their two meetings this season in the group stages end in draws, but I have a bit of faith that Barcelona can win that match too.
It is the most interesting match in my opinion to look forward to, I really don't want to miss that match later.
At least now their strength can be considered as equal but if you look at H2H now it is clear that Bayern are far superior to Barcelona.
There are good things for Barcelona this season because one of the actors of their massacre namely Lewandowski is now at Barcelona so this is something good for them although it is still a little difficult to win if it is only Lewandowski alone.
