Barcelona Vs Bayern Munich: Talking Tactics

Xavi will put the 4-3-3 formation to use allowing Robert Lewandowski, who’s in great form, to return up top. Ousmane Dembele and Raphinha return to the front three to provide support.

Julian Nagelsmann will probably set his players up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and could make a couple of tweaks to his starting XI for this game. Both Leon Goretzka and Serge Gnabry might get a chance to impress from the start. Upamecano could return to the backline to partner up with De Ligt.
