Despite losing the La Liga Championship to Real Madrid, Barcelona has been doing very well in the Champions League, especially because of Lionel Messi. They have won all of their last 5 matches but Bayern Munich is going to be quite the hurdle.
Bayern Munich were crowned the Bundesliga Champions. Robert Lewandowsky managed to score 34 goals. They managed a jaw dropping 7-1 victory against Chelsea in the previous round across two legs. The German team is a favourite to win the entire competition yet again.
