Barcelona vs Bayern Munich live stream: How to watch Champions League game online and on TV, team news

The Barcelona vs Bayern Munich live stream is a meeting of two previous Champions League winners looking to climb the table — and you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN, potentially for FREE.

Barcelona's latest Champions League campaign got off to a bad start when they were beaten 2-1 away to Monaco, but they bounced back with a 5-0 thrashing of Young Boys in their temporary home at the old Olympic stadium. Raphinha put in a man-of-the-match performance from the number 10 position, setting up Lewandowski for the first and doubling the lead himself, but Bayern will present much tougher opposition.

Bayern Munich recorded a huge win in their first Champions League match of the season, beating Dinamo Zagreb 9-2, but Vincent Kompany's side received a wake-up call when they travelled to Birmingham last time out. They went down 1-0 to Aston Villa after Jhon Duran's quick-thinking strike caught Manuel Neuer off his line – a result they'll be keen to avoid repeating here tonight.
