The return of the Champions League sees two European heavyweights go head-to-head with the Barcelona vs Bayern Munich live stream today (Tuesday, September 14). 

The two sides have won Europe’s premier club competition a combined 11 times, and last time they met, in the quarter finals of the 2019/20 season, Bayern Munich won 2-8 at the Nou Camp. Barcelona will no doubt be out for revenge.

The Catalan giants have not played since the end of August — their first La Liga match after the international break against Sevilla, due to take place on Saturday, was postponed as both had players away in South America for the World Cup qualifying tournament. 

Despite a turbulent summer which saw club icon Lionel Messi leave, along with Antoine Griezmann and others, Barca are unbeaten in the three games they have played. They won against both Real Sociedad and Getafe at home, although only drew away to Athletic Club.

Reigning German champions Bayern Munich drew 1-1 with Borussia Mönchengladbach in their opening Bundesliga match, before going on to beat FC Koln 3-2 the next game. Since then, they have enjoyed a run of comprehensive victories, beating Hertha Berlin and RB Leipzig 5-0 and 1-4 respectively. There has also been a 1-3 victory over rivals Borussia Dortmund in the German supercup, and 0-12 demolition of lower league side Bremer in a domestic cup match. The only time this season star striker Robert Lewadonski played and failed to score was against England while playing for Poland. 

The opening games of the Champions League group stage can often be cagey affairs, with teams concerned about losing early on. That’s possible in this game if the two big hitters of Group E decide that a draw suits both of them. However, a win for either would put them in a strong position, with potentially tricky matches against Benfica and Dynamo Kiev awaiting them in the weeks to come.

Midfielder Marcel Sabitzer is out injured for Bayern Munich, while winger Serge Gnabry is only on the bench; he's been suffering with lower back trouble. Lewandowski was also substituted off at the weekend due to a groin issue, but the move was described as “precautionary” by manager Julian Nagelsmann and he starts here. 

As for Barcelona, Ousmane Dembele, Sergio Aguero and Ansu Fati are all out injured, while Martin Braithwaite is also injured and could be out for months. Luuk De Jong, who flopped at Newcastle, makes his debut.

Here's how they line up:

Barcelona: Ter Stegen, Araujo, Pique, Garcia, Busquets, Sergi Roberto, Frenkie de Jong, Pedro Gonzalez, Jordi Alba, Luuk de Jong, Depay.

Substitutes: Dest, Puig, Demir, Neto, Coutinho, Lenglet, Mingueza, Umtiti, Pena, Nico Gonzalez, Gavi, Balde.

Bayern Munich: Neuer, Pavard, Upamecano, Sule, Davies, Goretzka, Kimmich, Sane, Muller, Musiala, Lewandowski.

Substitutes: Richards, Gnabry, Coman, Choupo-Moting, Cuisance, Sabitzer, Sarr, Lucas, Roca, Kouassi, Ulreich, Stanisic.
