Facts and other important things to know about the match
Barcelona, who defeated Athletic Club in a convincing 4-1 victory over the weekend, will host German Champions Bayern Munich in the fifth round of the UEFA Champions League tournament in 2022/23 at the Spotify Camp Nou stadium.
Bayern Munich are sitting in the number one position on the group C table with 12 points out of a possible 12 after four games played. The German side has qualified for the knockout stages already.
Barcelona, on the other hand, are currently sitting in the third position with four points after four games played so far this season in the competition. The Catalan club have only won once, lost twice, and drawn once, and they are on the verge of crashing out of the tournament.
There are no clear favourites going into this match as Barcelona are in desperate need of a victory against Bayern Munich to have a chance to qualify for the next round and Bayern Munich, on the other hand, want to teach their former teammate Robert Lewandowski a lesson.
