Ahead of the clash, Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka explained that they will take the game against Barcelona seriously.

He said, "When we play against FC Barcelona at Camp Nou, be it a friendly game or a Champions League final, it doesn't matter. 

"It's going to be a great game that we're looking forward to. And we will also do everything to win it."

He also explained that his former teammate Robert Lewandowski was spoiled at Bayern Munich progressing to the knockout stages every year,.

He added, "Lewy was very spoiled at Bayern, always progressing at least to the round of 16. But it is what it is – now we can no longer take that into consideration."

English referee Anthony Taylor will officiate as Barcelona welcomes Bayern Munich to the Spotify Camp Nou in a Champions League game scheduled for Wednesday, October 26, 2022.
