Barcelona vs. Bayern Munich: Recent form, starting lineups, odds
Barcelona has one last chance to win a trophy in this elongated season, but the oddsmakers don’t think they’ll get past the Bayern hurdle. Barcelona hasn’t quite looked like an elite team since the soccer world restarted in June. Barca couldn’t get results down the stretch in ceding the La Liga title to Real Madrid. And yet, Lionel Messi has had a brilliant season; he may be uniquely qualified to carry Barca into a semifinal past a formidable opponent.
Bayern Munich has won every game but two in 2020, and has not dropped a single point since drawing with RB Leipzig back in February. The Bavarians won an eighth straight Bundesliga title anda record 20th DFB-Pokal. It demolished Chelsea in the previous round of the UCL 7-1 on aggregate. Striker Robert Lewandowski might have been a favorite for the Ballon d’Or this season if it had been given out, and Canadian sensation Alphonso Davies is in the midst of a breakout season. If they can’t shut down Barca, they certainly have the ability to outscore them.
