Jupp Heynckes' high-flying side welcome the Blaugrana to the Allianz Arena on Tuesday night (6:45 PM, Universal Time & 7:45 PM, Nigeria Time) for the first leg of a blockbuster semi-final between two European powerhouses
Bayern Munich striker Mario Mandzukic will miss the Champions League showdown against Barcelona through suspension.
While the Bavarian giants Philippe Lahm, Javi Martinez and Bastian Schweinsteiger should all return to the starting line-up after being rested for Saturday's 6-1 win over Hannover, but long-term injury victims Toni Kroos (groin) and Holger Badstuber (knee) remain absent.
Who will carry the day?
