Barcelona vs Bayern Munich. Prediction and Betting Tips for UEFA Champions League (September 14, 2021).

At the end of the summer, Barcelona received a serious blow: they failed to renew their contract with Lionel Messi. As a result, the Argentine left the club and moved to PSG. In addition, Ronald Koeman's team said goodbye to Antoine Griezmann: the Frenchman returned to Atlético. However, Barcelona looked solid in the first games of the new season. Memphis Depay became the new leader, and he has already scored two goals.

In the first round, Barcelona easily defeated Real Sociedad at home with a score of 4:2. The second game was much more difficult: Athletic Bilbao put up a real fight at home and opened the scoring. But a powerful shot from Memphis Depay leveled the score, and the game was tied. In the last game, Barcelona were stronger than Getafe (2:1). Currently, Barcelona are in seventh place in the table.

Bayern Munichhave also undergone dramatic changes in the offseason. Julian Nagelsmann replaced Hans-Dieter Flick as head coach. However, unlike Barcelona, Bayern Munich have not lost any key players, on the contrary, the squad was strengthened by the signing of central defender Dayot Upamecano.

Bayern have already won a trophy in the new season. They defeated Borussia Dortmund in the German Super Cup with a score of 3:1. Bayern started the new season of Bundesliga with a draw 1:1 with Borussia Mönchengladbach. After that, they beat Koln (3:2) and Hertha (5:0), and in the last round, the Bavarians left no chances for RB Leipzig (4:1). Bayern are on the second line in the table now.
