FC Bayern Munich tackles the Champions League game at FC Barcelona with Sadio Mané in the starting XI.
Africa’s footballer of the year, like right-back Noussair Mazraoui, is a new starter on Wednesday evening at the Camp Nou compared to the 2-0 win at Hoffenheim. Benjamin Pavard and Kingsley Coman take a seat on the bench at the reunion with world footballer Robert Lewandowski. Thomas Müller, who was last stopped by a gastrointestinal infection, is also sitting there.
In the Munich goal, Sven Ulreich again stands in for the injured captain Manuel Neuer, who has to do without the goalkeeper duel with Germany’s number 2 Marc-André ter Stegen. The focus in the Catalan port city is on the striker duel between Lewandowski, who has switched to FC Barcelona, and his former backup Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting.
