Barcelona have announced the starting XI that will take on Bayern Munich in their Champions League opener tonight. It is a 3-5-2 formation from Ronald Koeman.
Marc-Andre ter Stegen starts in goal, hoping to avoid another embarrassing exit in the UCL. He is screened by a back-three of Gerard Pique, Eric Garcia, and Ronald Araujo. It is safe to assume that Pique will start in the center of the trident while Araujo flanks it from the right.
Meanwhile, tonight is another time Bayern will be hoping to repeat history as they travel to the Catalan capital for the Champions League group stage. All eyes will be on them to relive another goal fest.
Barca’s Confirmed XI (3-5-2): ter Stegen; Araujo, Pique, Eric; Roberto, de Jong, Busquets, Pedri, Alba; Luuk, Memphis
Bayern’s Predicted XI: Neuer; Pavard, Upamecano, Sule, Davies; Kimmich, Goretzka; Musiala, Muller, Sane; Lewandowski.
Prediction: Barcelona 1-2 Bayern Munich.
