FC Barcelona striker, Memphis Depay has declared the UEFA Champions League group stage game against Bayern Munich a must-win final for his team.
On Wednesday, December 8, FC Barcelona will be in Germany to play against Bayern at the Allianz Arena. The UEFA Champions League Group E match is Barcelona’s last chance to play in the next round of the tournament.
Currently, FC Barcelona are sitting on the 2nd spot with 7 points in 5 games after recording 2 wins, a draw, and two defeats. The Spanish giants are 8 points below first placed Bayern Munich and two points above third-placed Benfica.
As it stands, the surest way for Barcelona to remain in the tournament is to beat Bayern Munich with any scoreline. That would earn them 10 points in 6 games.
But if that does not happen, they would have to hope that fourth-placed Dynamo Kyiv would beat third-placed Benfica.
This means that Barcelona have two ways of remaining in the tournament. Either through beating Bayern or Dynamo Kyiv beating Benfica.
A victory over Bayern would be a tall call for Barcelona which have been struggling to beat the German club in recent years.
The last two times the two European giants met, it didn’t end well for the Spanish side. Recall that Bayern beat Barca 8-2 in the knockout stage of the Champions League in the 2019-2020 season. When they met in the first leg of the tournament this season, Bayern defeated Barca 3-0 in front of Barca home fans.
