Barcelona's expected line-up for the game consists of: Ter Stegen, Pique, Langlet, Semedo, Alba, Rakitic, De Jong, Busquets, Roberto, Suarez and Messi. 

 

"Bayern have a very important offensive potential and therefore they could harm us, but everything will depend on our success, as usually happens." Barcelona manager Quique Setién said. 

 

The game starts on 9:00 pm.
