The quarter-final stage of the Champions League will reach its climax in Lisbon tomorrow (Friday, 22:00, Sport 5), in the form of Barcelona's meeting with Bayern Munich. The Catalans will try to save their season after the disappointing end and loss of the La Liga championship, in what will be their 13th consecutive quarter-final (an all-time record). Barça come away with a six-game unbeaten streak against German rivals, having been relegated to Bayern Munich in the 2015 semi-finals, knowing that the ability they displayed in the last 16 against Napoli will not be enough for them against the Bavarians. In its head-to-head balance against Bayern itself, however, Barcelona can not hang on: a lone win alongside three losses it has had in the last four meetings between the teams, since 2013.

If Kika Stein's team stuttered in the last 16, the German champions on the other end of the spectrum. 1: 7 in the summary of the games over Chelsea showed that Bayern are still one of the leading candidates to go all the way, especially considering the monstrous fitness of Robert Lewandowski.

Stein will once again miss Samuel Omititi but will get back Osman Dembele, who will likely wait on the bench for minutes of play. It is still unclear whether Antoine Griezmann will open alongside Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi on the edge, or whether Stein will prefer to thicken the midfield at the expense of the Frenchman. Jerome Boateng, on the other hand, should be fit for Bayern, as should Kingsley Koeman, who is expected to replace Ivan Frisic.

The one who analyzed the game today is Rivaldo, who agreed with Luther Mathews that "Bayern are a little better. If there was a rematch, Barcelona were less likely to come up. The fact that it is a single game is a great opportunity for Barça." However, the former Brazilian player has a hard time treating the Catalans as underdogs: "Talking about a clear favorite when you meet the best player in the world Lionel Messi sounds a bit dangerous to me. Robert Lewandowski is a huge player, but first he has to oust who is currently considered the best player in the world." .

Another former club player, Brand Schuster, added: "Barcelona are more dependent on Messi than ever before. He can still win games on his own, he has the qualities to score against Bayern and finish the game on his own. Barcelona have only two options this season: either Messi will score, Or they will have an extraordinary day without the ball. "
