Bayern Munich travelled to Spain to take on FC Barcelona...but this was not your older brother’s Barca.Hansi Flick had his team aggressive, creative, and relentless (shades of his tenure at Bayern Munich) and maybe most importantly, Flick had his squad prepared to take advantage of Bayern Munich’s iffy backline — and that is exactly what the Catalans did to snare a 4-1 victory.Needless to say, there is a TON to talk about, so let’s do it.

Few things are inevitable in football, but Bayern Munich vs FC Barcelona has certainly felt that way in recent years. The two FCBs have an incredibly lopsided record in the UEFA Champions League, with Bayern not just winning games, but winning them by some margin, year after year, ad nauseam.The links between these two clubs are numerous — Barca employ former Bayern Munich men in both Robert Lewandowski and Hansi Flick. Flick especially was considered for the coaching position at Bayern before Vincent Kompany was hired. That makes this game more emotionally charged than usual.In this episode, INNN and Michael discuss the following:Who should be on the starting lineup? Should Thomas Müller play? Does Serge Gnabry keep starting?Who are the most dangerous players on the Barca side? Lamine Yamal vs Jamal Musiala, and the curious case of Raphinha.How Barca’s attack stacks up against the Bayern Munich defense.Why Bayern has an advantage attacking the Barca defense.Discussing the two strikers — Harry Kane vs Robert Lewandowski.
