Barca just let too much go tonight.

Compared to

, both coach Julian Nagelsmann and sports director Hasan Salihamidzic were focused, you can find the voices about the top game here.

Update, 8:31 p.m .:

The Bayern fans show themselves from the fair side, when the Barcelona team enters the field there are the usual whistles.

When Lewandowski comes out of the players' tunnel, they don't get louder.

On the contrary, the greeting is quite pleasant.

The first good news tonight.

Update, 8:29 p.m .:

A good half hour until kick-off, the Allianz Arena is slowly filling up.

The players will come out in a few moments - then Robert Lewandowski will also face the Munich audience for the first time after his departure.

FC Bayern against Barcelona in the live ticker: Upamecano and Hernández should stop Lewandowski

Update, 8:00 p.m.:

One hour until the experienced referee Danny Makkelie whistles the top game between FC Bayern and Barcelona in the Allianz Arena.

It is the 37th Champions League game for the Dutchman, he has already refereed Bayern Munich games three times.

The Munich team prevailed every time, in November 2020 there was a 6-2 win in Salzburg, in October 2010 Bayern won 3-2 in Piraeus and in October 2017 the away game at Celtic Glasgow ended 2-1 for the FCB.

This statistic speaks clearly for a Bayern victory.

Update, 7.42 p.m .:

The lists of the two teams are already online on the UEFA website.

Julian Nagelsmann starts against the Catalans without any major surprises, Dayot Upamecano will play alongside Lucas Hernandez in central defence.

On the offensive, Serge Gnabry is again at a disadvantage and sits on the bench, while Musiala and Sané may want to cause a stir in the outside positions.

Nagelsmann makes five changes: Hernández, Pavard, Sabitzer, Mané and Sané play in comparison to the 2-2 draw against Stuttgart instead of de Ligt, Mazraoui, Goretzka, Gnabry and Tel.

FC Bayern against Barcelona in the live ticker: only 1400 tickets sold for guest fans

Update, 7:27 p.m .:

A message before the Champions League cracker between Bayern and Barcelona triggered a lot of astonishment.

As ESPN reporter Samuel Mardsen reports, Barcelona fans are said to have only bought 1,407 tickets for the game.

661 tickets went to members of Polish fan clubs, so Bayern supporters will face very little acoustic resistance today.

However, the Barcelona pros won't let that deter them.

Update from September 13, 7:07 p.m .:

Just under two hours until kick-off in the Allianz Arena.

However, the first encounter between Bayern and Barcelona has already taken place, just a few kilometers west of the Fröttmaninger football temple.

On the FC Bayern campus, the U19 teams drew 3: 3 (2: 2), five minutes before the end of the game Lucas Copado, Hasan Salihamidzic's nephew, equalized against the A-Juniors of the world-famous Barca academy La Masia.

A draw tonight would probably not be enough for the pros.

FC Bayern vs. Barcelona in the live ticker: will Lewandowski be greeted with whistles?

Update from September 13, 6:39 p.m.:

375 and 344 goals and 72 assists: the statistics of Robert Lewandowski’s eight seasons at FC Bayern should still amaze the fans today.

But now he's gone, Munich's longtime goal guarantor.

Due to the change of theater, the question now arises as to how the Pole will be received by the audience on his early return.

Bayern still don't have an adequate replacement, and since this season the responsibility has been spread across several shoulders.

So Jamal Musiala, Sadio Mané, Leroy Sané and Co. are challenged tonight.

Sané has already shown his qualities on the international stage against Inter Milan, the 18-year-old Musiala is the most prolific FCB player this Bundesliga season with four goals.

First report from September 13th:

Munich - "When top European teams meet, then we are all motivated to the tips of our hair," said Julian Nagelsmann at the press conference before the top game against FC Barcelona.

In the second group game of this Champions League season, the coach is not only concerned with the important threesome.

But also about counteracting the negative trend.

After the 2-2 win against VfB Stuttgart on Saturday (September 10), a sense of achievement is essential.

But that could be difficult, FC Barcelona travels to Munich in top form.

The Catalans started the season with four wins and one draw in their first five games.

They scored 15 goals and conceded only one goal.

Robert Lewandowski contributed six goals and set up two more.

In the first Champions League game for his new employer at Viktoria Pilsen (5: 1), he scored three times.

How exactly Lewandowski will be received by the Munich fans remains to be seen.

The 34-year-old didn't exactly make himself popular with the followers with his change posse, which lasted several weeks.

He made several unpleasant comments about Bayern and ultimately left the record champions for 45 million euros.

It is unclear whether the Pole will be greeted with applause or whistles in the Allianz Arena in view of the transfer theater.

In any case, Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann will be looking for a suitable antidote to keep Lewandowski in check.

For example, the more defensive Marcel Sabitzer will start as announced for the more offensive Leon Goretzka.

Central defender Lucas Hernández's defensive partner has not yet been determined.

"We will expect a different Barcelona than before," knows the coach, who praised the opponent before the game.

His team must "go to the limit to win this game".
