A miracle won't be enough for Barcelona as they face Bayern Munich tonight in the final meaningful game of another all-too-brief Champions League campaign. Despite spending a small country's GDP on many of the game's biggest stars, Barca have officially crashed out at the group stage for the second season in a row. There could be a funereal atmosphere at Camp Nou, and you can read on as we break down how to watch a Barcelona vs Bayern Munich live stream and get the Champions League game from anywhere.
The Spanish giants' UCL hopes were over before they even kicked a ball this evening. To stand a chance of keeping their hopes alive, Xavi Hernandez's men needed Group C whipping boys Viktoria Plzeň to beat Italian giants Inter, but with the Czech team 4-0 down at the time of writing, Barca's wafer slim hopes have been crushed.
Héctor Bellerín would have hoped for a happier occasion for his Champions League start in more than five years, but he's in at right-back in place of Sergi Roberto. The entire backline has a makeshift look to it, and further up the field, a slight knock for Gavi gives Franck Kessié a rare run-out alongside Sergio Busquets and Frenkie de Jong. Pedri is part of a front three with Robert Lewandowski and Ousmane Dembélé.
Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting leads the line for Bayern, with a supporting cast of Serge Gnabry, Sadio Mané and Jamal Musiala buzzing around him. Manuel Neuer is dealing with an injury, so Sven Ulreich keeps his place in goal, while Noussair Mazraoui is in for Benjamin Pavard at right-back.
Barcelona have lost each of their past five games against Munich, conceding 19 in the process while scoring only two. Their most recent clash ended with a 2-0 victory for Julian Nagelsmann's men courtesy of goals from Lucas Hernandez and Leroy Sané, but the key man in that game was Robert Lewandowski, who missed two sitters against his former team. If he'd converted those chances, who knows where the Spanish giants would be right now?
The Polish marksman has resembled a one-man team for large parts of this season, but with Barca already out of the Champions League, a scapegoat will be required. A big performance may at least keep the infamous Spanish press off his back for now, but how will that shaky looking rearguard hold up?
