After the first 45 minutes, it was a wonder how Barcelona were not in front, with Robert Lewandowski and company feasting on the Bayern back line in his return to the Allianz Arena.
The Blaugrana had battered the hosts, with Bayern looking again off the pace after three straight Bundesliga draws. The only thing that was missing for Barcelona was the final product, and it felt like that eventually, things would fall their way.
Then halftime came and went, and a different Bayern team emerged from the tunnel, unrecognizable from the one that departed the Allianz Arena field at the break. Lucas Hernandez and Leroy Sane goals four minutes apart saw the hosts go in front before the hour mark, and Barcelona were yet again sunk by the German opposition which is quickly becoming Public Enemy No. 1 in Catalonia.
Barcelona fell yet again to Bayern Munich, a familiar result in European play, as the Germans yet again get the better of their Spanish opponents.

Bayern Munich vs. Barcelona post-match analysis
Barcelona again fail to shake Champions League nemesis
Barcelona came into this match in much better form than Bayern, and it felt like Xavi’s men were the favorites even on the road to a team that’s given them fits over the years. The first half saw Barcelona in complete control, and it appeared as if the Blaugrana were going to run away with the match if they could just produce a final ball to beat Manuel Neuer.
That never happened. Instead, their old bogey team reemerged.
For the fifth straight time and ninth over all across 14 all-time meetings, Bayern emerged victorious. It’s becoming more than just a fluky trend, as it instead feels as if Bayern are poking a Barcelona voodoo doll in the dressing room.

Nagelsmann may have found something in Hernandez-Upamecano pairing
Bayern Munich spent a fortune this summer on Dutch center-back Matthijs de Ligt, but his early struggles alongside Frenchman Dayot Upamecano have seen Bayern concede goals at terrible moments over the first few weeks of the season.
The Bayern boss instead turned to Lucas Hernandez for this massive Champions League tilt, leaving de Ligt on the bench. The end result made Nagelsmann look like a genius, as Hernandez was easily the Man of the Match for the Bavarians. After Bayern escaped to halftime unscathed, Hernandez produced a world-class second half, rendering Robert Lewandowski totally invisible and picking up a goal of his own on the other end.
Unfortunately, Hernandez was forced off injured in the final seconds of the match with what looked a painful groin problem, which could force de Ligt back to duty, but when the French defender returns, Nagelsmann should see him straight back into the side.

FULL-TIME: Bayern Munich 2-0 Barcelona
Behind an emphatic second half, Bayern Munich take control of Group C, a stunning last 45 minute performance full of grit and cutting edge.
Barcelona were soundly beaten after the break, following their run of big missed chances in the opening half, thwarted repeatedly by Manuel Neuer. The Blaugrana still cannot shake their old Champions League ghosts.

90+3 min: Lewandowski appears to be in after a bouncing ball drops at his feet in the penalty area, but Josh Kimmich arrives out of nowhere to clear the ball.
Lucas Hernandez is down with what looks to be a groin issue nearly the penalty flag, reaching for a tackle with Franck Kessie. Barcelona want him to get up quickly as not to time waste, and the Frenchman reacts angrily, saying he’s actually hurt. The replay shows as much, pulling up immediately after his stretch, a tough loss for Bayern moving forward after a big showing in today’s match.
86th min: Barcelona are throwing everything they have at Bayern Munich, and it’s not borne any kind of fruit. Ansu Fati is nearly in but his touch fails him, and Ferran Torres skids one wide. This second half has shown a different Bayern team than we’ve seen the last few weeks: pumped full of adrenaline and ready to slay a giant.
80th min: Leroy Sane is withdrawn, replaced by Ryan Gravenberch. Sane had a great match, but is clearly upset on the touchline and heads right down the tunnel. Could that just be frustration at being subbed off, or is he injured? Barcelona bring on Franck Kessie and Ansu Fati for the final 10 minutes.

77th min: Lewandowski gets service at the penalty spot, with his back to goal and working one-on-one with Lucas Hernandez, and the French international dispossesses him. As the chance is cleared, Hernandez has a big fist pump as he locks down his mark.
Hernanez shouldn’t get ahead of himself just yet, though, as he concedes a hard foul on Lewandowski outside the top of the penalty area, and it’s a big set-piece chance for Barcelona…Lewandowski takes it, and it’s straight into the wall.
73rd min: Josh Kimmich gets a yellow card for what is essentially a wedgie of de Jong, grabbing at the Dutchman’s shorts as he looks to break free on the ball. Third yellow card of the match, and second to Bayern.
Barcelona are throwing numbers forward and looking to get back into the game. Ferran Torres is nearly through, and he goes down in the penalty area under a Goretzka challenge, but it’s not enough for a penalty.
70th min: Both sides make changes, as Bayern bring on Serge Gnabry (and his big club hand, wrapped after an injury) for Leroy Sane, while Andreas Christensen comes off to make way for Eric Garcia.
After the restart, the chemistry issues continue for Barcelona as de Jong goes for the through ball and Lewandowski misses the run, instead looking to shift onto the other side of his defender. Those issues continue to plague Barcelona throughout this second half.
63rd min: Chance, Barcelona! How has Pedri missed that?!?!?!? He’s through on goal with only Neuer to beat thanks to a great thread by Lewandowski, and he dinks his effort off the outside of the left post, out for a goal kick. Neuer came off his line to challenge, but the Bayern keeper didn’t get a touch, the shot just trickled wide.

60th min: Bayern are suddenly by far the better side, winning every single 50/50 ball in midfield and catching Barcelona players napping. Xavi wants to make a change to stem the flow of blood, and he has Frenkie de Jong and Ferran Torres to come on in place of Gavi and Raphinha.
What a difference a half makes. Gavi and Raphinha were arguably the two best Barcelona players, and they end up hauled off on 60 minutes with their side down 2-0.
54th min: GOAL! BAYERN! Bayern are buzzing since taking the lead, and it’s a quickfire double! It’s young Musiala to start the move, and Leroy Sane charges right through the heart of the Barcelona defense. He goes right by Jules Kounde who can’t keep up, and ter Stegen has no chance. What a resurgence from Bayern!
It’s a tragedy for Barcelona, who were by far the better side in the first half but failed to take advantage, and now find themselves two goals down and second-best in the match.

50th min: Chance, Bayern! Muller sets up new man Goretzka, who has a hit from a central area, and it’s saved very well by Marc-Andre ter Stegen his first time required.
48th min: The first Barcelona player booked is Sergio Busquets, and again it’s a bit soft, as he takes down Musiala. He offers a hand to help Musiala up, and it’s snubbed, without even as much as eye contact from the German youngster. Spicy!
45th min: Back under way for the second half. One change, as Bayern manager Nagelsmann swaps midfielders, bringing on Leon Goretzka for Marcel Sabitzer.
HALFTIME: Bayern Munich 0-0 Barcelona
It’s a wonder how this game remains scoreless after a highly entertaining first 45 minutes. Barcelona, especially, should be in front, as Robert Lewandowski missed a host of chances that you’d expect him to score, while Manuel Neuer was critical in keeping the visitors out.
As the half wore down, Bayern built into the match, but failed to produce any really high quality chances on net, with Sabitzer dragging their only good effort on net wide. Alphonso Davies is very lucky to get away with a no-call on the edge of the penalty area just before the halftime whistle.
Bayern vs. Barcelona being played at 100 mph, it’s carnage in the middle as the two press each other—and it’s really separating the wheat from the chaff from a technical standpoint. Fascinating to watch which players thrive or struggle in this atmosphere. #UCL

43rd min: Chance, Barcelona! Lewandowski’s let another go! Stunning work by Raphinha to tee up the star striker, but he blows it by taking a touch rather than hitting it first-time, which everyone in the stadium expected him to do. That single touch allowed Mazraoui to recover and make a great tackle, denying the eventual shot.
At some point, Lewandowski has to put one of these big chances away, or Barcelona will end up rueing their misses, which are piling up.

In the aftermath, Raphinha goes down under a heavy challenge from Davies at the very edge of the penalty area, but it’s waved away. The replay shows that Davies is probably very lucky to get away with that one, as his step from behind didn’t touch the ball but definitely impeded the opponent.

Barcelona were screaming for a foul in the build-up, with Busquets spilled on the ground in midfield.
28th min: Chance, Barcelona! The visitors have another big chance, but again come away with nothing. Lewandowski tees one up for Raphinha at the top of the 18-yard box, but the Brazilian rifles his low effort just shy of the right post.
Barcelona have been the better side through the opening half-hour, but will they rue these misses?
21st min: Chance, Barcelona! ANOTHER BIG SAVE BY NEUER! Ousmane Dembele down the left feeds a spectacular diagnoal ball to Lewandowski who comes close again, setting himself up with one touch with the shot on his second, but he’s once again denied by his old teammate!

Noussair Mazraoui comes on to replace Pavard, who probably shouldn’t have been allowed to continue in the first place after his earlier head injury.
19th min: Marcel Sabitzer picks up a yellow for a challenge with Sergio Busquets. It’s a bit of a harsh one, as Sabitzer was the one who went to ground first in what appeared to be a true 50/50 challenge, but Busquets came out worse ending up taking a cleat to the ribs.
In the aftermath, Pavard comes off the field, clearly struggling from his early clash with Alonso.
18th min: Chance, Barcelona! A miss from Lewandowski! The former Bayern man roasts the home defense with brilliant skill to get free, but he pokes a ninja-kick shot over the bar. It’s an effort of the highest degree of difficulty, but one that Lewandowski has converted before.

One excellent matchup that proves to be a match-long battle is Alphonso Davies vs. Raphinha.
9th min: Chance, Barcelona! WHAT A SAVE Manuel Neuer! Just as we say that Barcelona were wilting under the early Bayern press, some pressure of their own results in a break. Lewandowski down the right flicks into the middle to start a great passing move, eventually falling to Pedri who has a wide open sight on net. The young midfielder rips a left-footed shot, but the Bayern veteran produces a better save, flicking his leg out against his body’s momentum to keep the shot out. Kick save…AND A BEAUTY.

5th min: Benjamin Pavard takes a while to get up after a hard crash into Marcos Alonso. Pavard headed a ball on a Bayern counter and his momentum carried him into the new Barcelona full-back. No malicious intent at all, but it looked a nasty one. The French international is up eventually and ready to continue.
2nd min: An early mistake by Barcelona gifts Sadio Mane the ball at the top of the penalty area, but the Spanish side tracks back well to hound the new Bayern man, and his feed for Musiala is off the mark to end the chance.

It’s notable to see what kind of reception former Bayern striker Lewandowski receives throughout the match today. He won the gamut of trophies at the Bavarian club, but left in unceremonious manner as he forced his way out.

75 mins to kick: Bayern have their lineup out early as well, and Dayot Upamecano starts at center-back alongside Lucas Hernandez, with Matthijs de Ligt on the bench. Marcel Sabitzer returns to the midfield after being rested over the weekend, while bright young talent Jamal Musiala is deployed in the attack.
Sitting Upamecano instead of de Ligt is an interesting call from Bayern boss Julian Nagelsmann. Upamecano has won just 31 percent of his aerial duels this year in Bundesliga play, and Lewandowski is an aerial threat in front of goal.
86 mins to kick: Barcelona have released their lineups significantly early. For the visitors, Andreas Christensen and Jules Kounde are entrusted with the defensive duties, while Marcos Alonso makes his first Barcelona start in a very big spot. Ronald Araujo earns the start at right-back over Hector Bellerin.

Bayern Munich vs. Barcelona lineups, team news
Striker Sadio Mane was rested against Stuttgart, coming off the bench for a nine-minute cameo at the end of the disappointing draw.
The defensive pairing of Matthijs de Ligt and Dayot Upamecano has struggled at times to start the year, and it’s Lucas Hernandez who comes in for this match in place of de Ligt. Benjamin Pavard and Marcel Sabitzer are also back in the lineup as well, while young Jamal Musiala is part of the attack in place of Serge Gnabry.
Bayern Munich starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Neuer (GK) — Davies, Hernandez, Upamecano, Pavard — Sabitzer, Kimmich — Musiala, Muller, Sane — Mane.
Bayern Munich subs (9): Ulreich (GK), de Ligt, Mazraoui, Stanisic, Goretzka, Gravenberch, Gnabry, Tel, Chupo-Moting.
Xavi has so many options on this incredibly deep roster that picking a likely lineup each match is difficult, but it figures to look similarly to the previous Champions League win over Viktoria Plzen.
New defensive signing Marcos Alonso made his debut over the weekend against Cadiz and now makes his first Barcelona start, while fellow new man Hector Bellerin heads to the bench after starting over the weekend. In the rest of defense, it’s Jules Kounde on the right plus a center-back pairing of Ronald Araujo and Andreas Christensen, with Gerard Pique, Eric Garcia, and Jordi Alba all available as substitutes.
Barcelona starting lineup (4-3-3): Ter Stegen (GK) — Alonso, Araujo, Christensen, Kounde — Pedri, Busquets, Gavi — Dembele, Lewandowski, Raphinha.
Barcelona subs (12): Tenas (GK), Pena (GK), Pique, Alba, Garcia, Balde, Bellerin, de Jong, Kessie, Fati, F. Torres, Depay.

Bayern Munich vs. Barcelona betting odds, picks & prediction
Odds via Caesars (USA), Sports Interaction (Canada), & SkyBet (UK).
Just based purely on form, these lines don’t quite make sense. Since a season-opening scoreless draw in La Liga play, Barcelona have pummeled everyone in their path, while Bayern Munich have struggled in the Bundesliga.
And although Bayern’s attack is one of the world’s best, it hasn’t been able to make up for the deficiencies seen at the back, where Bayern are struggling defensively.
Backing Barcelona to win outright at the given odds jumps off the board as they look to snatch control of a brutal Group C that’s up for grabs.
