Matchday three of the UEFA Champions League promises two thrilling encounters as Barcelona host Bayern Munich and Manchester City welcome Sparta Prague.
Barcelona, riding high at the top of La Liga, face a daunting challenge against Bayern Munich, a team they've historically struggled against.
In their previous 15 meetings, Barcelona have managed just two wins, with Bayern dominating the rivalry (D2, L11). Adding to their woes, Barcelona are winless in their last seven matches against German teams, a streak they’ll be keen to end.
Despite these challenges, the Catalans boast a formidable record in this competition, having scored in their last eight Champions League games.
