The Bundesliga champions have won their last four meetings with the Blaugrana, scoring 17 goals in the process – four of them hit by Lewandowski himself – but could the prolific Pole give his current employers the edge in this latest battle between two of Europe's most storied clubs?

Julian Nagelsmann's side, who eased to victory at Inter in their opening game, may have something to say about that.

Team News:

Bayern Munich:

Bayern will again be missing Kingsley Coman and Bouna Sarr for this match, but the German champions did not pick up any fresh fitness problems against Stuttgart.

Sane and Sadio Mane are both expected back in the final third of the field, while Benjamin Pavard and Lucas Hernandez are set to return to the defence.

There might be just the one change to the side that started against Inter in the Champions League last week, with Gnabry coming in for Coman, so Mane could play at centre-forward for the hosts here.

Barcelona:

Barcelona, meanwhile, are taking a 25-man squad to Munich for this match, with Sergi Roberto included despite missing out against Cadiz on Saturday with a slight muscular problem.

Unless there are any late issues, the La Liga side will have a fully-fit squad, meaning that Xavi has a number of selection dilemmas, particularly at the back.

There were wholesale changes against Cadiz on Saturday, but Lewandowski, Pedri, Ousmane Dembele, Jules Kounde and Eric Garcia are expected to be back in the starting side for this match.
