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.
Barcelona is a good team for now, Xavi has done alot of work in the team, and with limited resources Barcelona was able to sign good players in the just closed transfer window. In the other hand, Bayern Munich has a very strong squad but the strength of their squad is seriously in doubt, especially for playing 3 consecutive draws with clubs that could be considered as average.
This has raised some questions about the strength of Bayern Munchen. I believe that Barcelona will win the match because both teams are good but Barcelona has an edge over Bayern Munich because of Lewandowski effect. Lewandowski is having a good time in Barcelona and there is a rare chance that he will not score in any match.
For Bayern Munich, it I everyone's duty to score and it could create confusion as Mane has been used for striking positions which is not his natural position so many times.
