14/09/2021 - Barcelona and Bayern Munich kick-off their respective quests for Champions League glory with a blockbuster Group E clash at Camp Nou on Tuesday night.
The last time Barca and Bayern met was in 2020 where the Bayern destroyed the Catalans 8-2 and went on to win the competition.
Both teams have not met in the group stages since the 1998-99 campaign, where the Bavarian giants claimed a pair of 1-0 (home) and 2-1 (away) victories.

Bayern have not suffered defeat on the road in Europe's elite tournament since losing 3-0 at PSG in September 2017 - winning 14 and drawing four away from home since then - which represents the longest-ever unbeaten streak away from home in the Champions League.
