Barcelona are performing well in La Liga and regularly beat the big teams so the match against Barcelona will not be easy for Bayern Munich. But overall, I would slightly favor Bayern Munich in this Champions League match. Bayern Munich's biggest problem right now is their defense. Since all other positions except defense are fine, if the Bayern Munich manager only plans on defense, they can easily go ahead against Barcelona. But I would never say that Bayern Munich will win by a big margin against Barcelona. The result of this match may be a draw and if either team wins, the margin may be 1-0 or 2-1. Eagerly waiting to watch this important match of Champions League and looking forward to match my prediction with the match.
The depth of Bayern's squad is actually quite convincing if everything is utilized properly there. And Bayern's defense is slightly weaker than Barcelona's. But all that was replaced by Bayern's sharp attack line. But Barcelona's condition, which is currently in a good phase, will be difficult to stop. My estimate is that the Barcelona vs Bayern match will be fierce but many goals will be scored in that match. Because from the start both teams will apply a very aggressive attacking strategy as usual. And maybe improving the defense line would be a good step in preparing for this match.
This happened because it was based on Kompany's plans that did not match expectations.
There were several defenders he tried to bring in and it was a dead end like the case of Jonathan Tah who ended up staying at Leverkusen even though previously for rumors he would go to Bayern this season there was even news about a personal agreement about it.
In addition, Ito's severe injury also made their defensive line find another complicated situation where hope was in Ito but he still could not be played until now even though they had previously lost De Ligt who was left to go to Manchester United.
Bayern's defense can actually still be stronger but sometimes the situation where Kompany's scheme is always offensive and forces their full-backs to overlap it always backfires where they are not too ready to counterattack, so when there is a slight change or at least the players in their full-backs are not too far raised to maintain midfield stability then their defense can actually still be improved slowly.
