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?

BAYERN MUNICH

Neuer
Lahm • Buyten • Dante • Alaba
Martínez • Schweinsteiger
Robben • Müller • Ribéry
Gómez

BARCELONA

Valdés
Alves • Piqué • Bartra • Alba
Xavi • Busquets • Iniesta
Pedro • Messi • Sánchez



Both side broke record today as Barcelona became the first team to lose 4-0 in a CL Semi-Final match
What do you hope for the second leg?

DID YOU KNOW?
   
Bayern Munich have won 18 of their last 19 matches in all competitions, with the solitary defeat coming against Arsenal in the Champions League round of 16 second leg.

    The Bavarian giants have lost just one of 20 previous home encounters against Spanish opponents (W14, D5, L1).

    Bayern have won three of their six previous meetings with Barcelona in European competition (W3, D2, L1).

    Philipp Lahm, Dante and Luiz Gustavo will miss the return leg if they get booked on Tuesday night.

        
Barcelona have only won two of their last eight away games across all competitions (W2, D4, L2).

    The Blaugrana are on an eight-match unbeaten run on German soil stretching back to 2001. Their overall record away record against Bundesliga teams is W9, D10, L5.

    Xavi (pictured, left) has completed 1,005 passes in the Champions League this season, 470 more than any other player, at an 88% success rate.

    Gerard Pique, Jordi Alba and Alex Song will incur a ban with their next bookings.
