Our prediction for the match Barcelona vs Bayern
“The Blaugrana” was far from being successful in the previous season, failing to hold on to the Spanish Super Cup and the Primera won in 2023. Finally, Laporta showed Xavi the door. Tuchel, like “the Culés” legend, also announced his impending departure in Munich ahead of schedule, which is not surprising: Kane also did not win a single title in his first year in his new place.
The new coach of “More than a Club”, Flick, despite the chronic financial problems of the project and the associated restrictions on personnel strengthening, started with victories (it is reasonable to mention the misfires of Real Madrid). However, Osasuna, at a time when ter Stegen was already injured and Szczęsny had not yet been signed, beat the leader – 4-2. Nevertheless, Sevilla was routed with a 5-1 score at the weekend. Kompany also started in Germany with spectacular victories, but then Kane and the company lost points not only with Bayer, but also with Eintracht. Stuttgart was simply ignored – the team scored 4 unanswered goals.
An even greater contrast in the results of “the Star of the South” was in the Champions League. The club crushed Dinamo Zagreb with a unique score – 9-2. Still, then it was unable to score against Emiliano Martinez, ultimately losing with a 0-1 score to Aston Villa, in Birmingham. Flick’s stars stumbled in the European competition in the very 1st round, losing to Monaco with a minority (1-2). Then they “took out” their anger on Young Boys, calming down only at the score of 5-0.
