I agree Barcelona might score more goals if they are ahead of Bayern to prove point. But coach Hansi Flick will focus on winning game not getting revenge. Flick wants to keep team momentum going while saving energy for other important matches in La Liga and Copa del Rey. Revenge sounds good but Barcelona main goal is to advance in Champions League. Winning convincingly will boost their confidence. If they focus too much on revenge they might get tired or hurt players which would be bad.

I agree Barcelona might score more goals if they are ahead of Bayern to prove point. But coach Hansi Flick will focus on winning game not getting revenge. Flick wants to keep team momentum going while saving energy for other important matches in La Liga and Copa del Rey. Revenge sounds good but Barcelona main goal is to advance in Champions League. Winning convincingly will boost their confidence. If they focus too much on revenge they might get tired or hurt players which would be bad.
Basically Barcelona and Bayern have almost the same strategy in playing on the field. These two teams both have the same attacking aggressiveness. So it is not surprising that when these two teams win the match, the number of goals they score is always large. And when these two teams meet in the 3rd UCL match, I don't think anything will change much about the strategy they will use. And I think this will really make the game very exciting. And making the Barcelona vs Bayern meeting one of the matches that everyone will be looking forward to currently in the UCL. And to be honest, I can't predict which team will be the favorite in the Barcelona vs Bayern match. And even though Barcelona is the host in this match, that doesn't mean Barcelona can be the favorite. Because we know that Bayern's mentality cannot be weakened even when playing against their opponents.
Barcelona's squad is perhaps a bit less experienced in comparison. But with the help of Hansi Flick, this team is performing well this season. And I would say the Barcelona players are performing better than we expected. Barcelona lost the first match of the Champions League. But that was Barcelona's misfortune.
We saw a great performance from Barcelona in the last match against Young boys. On the other hand, Bayern Munich won the first match of the Champions League against Dinamo by a big margin of 9-2. But the team lost in the second match against Aston Villa. So there is no doubt that the match between Munich and Barcelona will be very competitive. And we all are waiting for this match.
Apart from this match, I am also looking forward to the Dortmund vs Real Madrid match. We know these two teams met in the UCL Final last season. And now they meet again at the beginning. This will be very interesting as I think Dortmund will be looking to avenge their loss in the Final last season.
Personally, I am also really looking forward to Bayern's match against Barcelona because there is no doubt that the performance of these two teams will be very good and exciting. But to be honest, I personally also bet on this team, of course it is very difficult to determine which team will win because of course both teams have good strength. Yes, it looks like there could be more than 2 goals in that match. but in that match it looks like I predicted score 2-2 for that match.
but if you look at Barcelona's last 5 matches against Bayern I see that Bayern have never lost, of course, from their last 5 matches, Bayern won all the matches. And of course, if Hansi's troops shake off when the match is defeated by Bayern, it will certainly make a record for Barcelona, which of course has lost 6 times in a row to Bayern.
Dortmund's match against Real Madrid is of course no less exciting because we will reminisce about last season where Real Madrid and Dortmund fought for the title. Yes, Dortmund definitely wants to avenge last season's defeat by Real Madrid. but it looks like beating Real Madrid, I think Dortmund will definitely be difficult. But of course it doesn't rule out the possibility that Real Madrid could be defeated by Dortmund. but in that match it looks like I will bet on Real Madrid winning.
Despite Barcelona's dismal record against Bayern, I'm still very wary about their chances this season. However, I hope they don't approach the game with a revenge mindset as that could lead to more losing matches. If they are focusing on the game itself, rather than proving a point, we might see improvement. Hansi Flick's guidance could be the boost they need. Nevertheless, it's just a game, and we can't put too much hope into it, but I'm eager to see how they'll perform this season
However, I don't think Hansi Flick will want a revenge game though he might want as many as possible goals but taking it to a revenge plan... he absolutely won't do that even if they have the chance to proof that
and that's if its possible in the first place, Barcelona has some serious game ahead apart from UCL so securing the win might just be their target.
Apart from this match, I am also looking forward to the Dortmund vs Real Madrid match. We know these two teams met in the UCL Final last season. And now they meet again at the beginning. This will be very interesting as I think Dortmund will be looking to avenge their loss in the Final last season.
The match will be played on the 22 October and I believe nobody will like to miss watching that match do to the love they have on the both teams especially real Madrid because of the players they signed and fans are always curious to watch the impact they would make on the club and besides Borussia Dortmund will be coming to have a revenge against real Madrid just as you said because it always happened that whenever a club loss to another they tend to buckle up there performance when next they are going to meet them, so that is how the match will be. I would have said real Madrid will win them just like they did the last time but they currently have deprecating performance, may be because of injuries that has been affecting the players, however I no Borussia Dortmund to be a club that normally take the champions League matches very serious.

You have a point. But there are two things to still check on the upcoming game for Bayern Munich against stuttgart. Number one, is that kompany will not let them lose that game, so he will try his best to see that there played well and win the game. The second thing to consider is that, they will be playing a home game. It will be so disappointing that Bayern Munich to lost a home game against stuttgart, so they will make sure they try their best to win. Furthermore for the chance of going on a draw might comes up, because if Bayern Munich didn’t focus more on their performance then I don’t think they will be able to win the game unless if it is a draw.
It is a match in the Bundesliga competition, not in the Champions League, which in general Kompany's squad can handle well because the strength of the Stuttgart team itself this season is a little different from last season. As for the match in the Champions League, it seems that Kompany will have a little more pressure because Bayern Munich will face Barcelona, who this season has experienced very good development in strength, although I also have no doubts about Bayern Munich's strength this season in any competition.I know that the game between Bayern Munich against stuttgart is not in Champions League, but a game in Bundesliga. But why I discussed about the game was because, @Fiatless said that the game between Bayern Munich against Stuttgart is the game that will determine his prediction on how Barcelona game will end. That is why I discussed about it, not that I didn’t know that the game i discussed about was not a game of the Champions League but Bundesliga. So don’t mistake my discussion.
If they eventually have the upper hand at the beginning of the game and they have the chance to put in more goals before the time runs out then they might want to consider taking a revenge game on Bayern , so far they can maintain their position then going for it shouldn't be bad actually.
However, I don't think Hansi Flick will want a revenge game though he might want as many as possible goals but taking it to a revenge plan... he absolutely won't do that even if they have the chance to proof that
and that's if its possible in the first place, Barcelona has some serious game ahead apart from UCL so securing the win might just be their target.

That is very close to the tactics that Xavi Hernandez used.

It's just that with statistics like this, of course, even though now the coaching and players have begun to update but still Bayern will definitely be superior even though they play home but on the other hand Barcelona have also now begun to improve so there could be surprises this season not the same as previous seasons.
Barcelona have improved from the start of the season and were scoring goals upon goals and still couldn’t win Monaco. I feel they are not yet up to the task to play well in the Champions League because most of the players are inexperienced and that is why i still feel they will find it difficult to play and win against Bayern Munich, Bayern are also struggling these recent games but i know they will always be ready to play against Barcelona. It won’t be an match for either team and it will be an interesting game to watch. Despite Barcelona's dismal record against Bayern, I'm still very wary about their chances this season. However, I hope they don't approach the game with a revenge mindset as that could lead to more losing matches.

You have a point, approaching the game with a revenge mindset is so unprofessional and will only lead to more losses. Barcelona need to play the game with a free mind without no worries and pressure and they might end up winning. 
Munich lost its momentum in the Champions League after they were defeated by Aston Villa in the previous match, the defeat actually had a negative impact on their current performance in the Bundesliga and it was proven when they had to face Frankfurt yesterday, precisly Munich failed to get the full 3 points in the match, although Bayern Munich actually played quite well in the match and was able to lead 3-2 over Frankfurt until the 53rd minute, But unfortunately they were unable to maintain the victory, I think what is going through by Munich at the moment should be an evaluation for Kompany and the defense should be his main focus to improve ahead of the crucial matches against Stuttgart and Barcelona later.
What Aston villa did to Bayern is not new and it was like a reminder that champions league is not bundesliga and that you can be kings in your own league but any other like and actually humble and there case the game would have ended 2:0 if not for the cancellation by var Bayern would have been more humbled this is what actually makes football more interesting, because even their last game with Frankfurt was a draw maybe their game with Aston villa is what most have resulted to them playing a draw game. And the way their game changed against Frankfurt was what surprised me the most. Those guys already understood how they were playing so their was no way they would have won the secret was already out and the number one rule is that don't let your opponent know your weakness. And that is what happened to Bayern. They still have other games to be able to make of for the draw and lost games.
I know Champions League is not the same as Bundesliga, but there is one fact that we most agree on. Barcelona will win Bayern Munich in this upcoming game. A deep consideration on Bayern Munich performance and Barcelona performance we will know well that Barcelona are in form more than Bayern Munich. So let not even think that Bayern Munich will have the chance to win Barcelona. If we are to talk about experience that is when we will say that Bayern Munich has more experience than them, base on their performance now I don’t think their experience will help them in the game.
How do you know Barcelona will win the match? Both teams ever got a lose in the last few matches. Barcelona got a defeat in La Liga match, meanwhile Bayern Munich got a defeat in UCL. Although Barcelona vs Bayern Munich is in UCL match, it is still difficult to predict because the performance of these teams are not 100% consistent. However, if we consider that the match will be held in Barcelona home, Barcelona should get the advantage. We can assume the chance of Barcelona to win the match is a bit higher.

Both teams have a dominant way of playing. Barcelona can be more favored, but I'm just worried about their defenders who I think are not very strong this season. There are still gaps even though in some matches it was closed by Barcelona's ability to dominate ball possession. But facing a strong opponent like Munich is clearly a tough test for Barcelona. It will not be easy to win the match. Before the match against Munich, Barca must face Sevilla who cannot be underestimated. Likewise, the match after facing Munich, Barca will face Madrid. They must be able to maintain their confidence.
Same Bayern that couldn't fight Aston Villa are going to beat Barcelona, I'm not sure if they are going to have that party entertaining because right now, I'm kind of scared about Barcelona, Lewandowski had a Hattrick yester in their last match, the opponent teams were weak but the ball possession of Barcelona is appealing and very entertaining and the fact that they are going to be playing home will be a catalyst I'm sure they will want to use to defend rigorously.
I think the reason why some people are thinking Barcelona might be weak against Bayern Munich is because Monaco been the leader for the park in their domestic league won Barcelona and I think we all will agree that was because of the red card they got in the early match, and there is no way they were going to play 10 against 11 and be comfortable right in their home but now, I'm fully giving this to Barcelona to win Bayern Munich.
Can't wait for this match because after all this will be a match between revenge, prestige and of course reunion where there are several players who will reunite with their former clubs which will add to the drama in the match later.
It is undeniable that for the target now Barcelona seems to be expecting a victory against Bayern especially for now apart from the revenge mission especially seeing the statistics of their last 6 meetings in the Champions League Barcelona always ended tragically where from 6 matches that occurred they could only score 4 goals and conceded 24 goals by Bayern. Moreover, it seems that in previous seasons Barcelona has always been a goal barn for Bayern so that indeed with the presence of Hansi Flick now of course this will make a strong push so that they can get 3 points in the Champions League continued later.
It's just that with statistics like this, of course, even though now the coaching and players have begun to update but still Bayern will definitely be superior even though they play home but on the other hand Barcelona have also now begun to improve so there could be surprises this season not the same as previous seasons.
Both Bayern Munich and Barcelona have both suffered defeat. Barcelona defeat was due to a red card that made them to play with 10 men against Monaco. Barcelona is weak when it comes to using 10 men to play against their opponents because the young players will be filled with tension and lacks the experience of playing with a man down.
I will not be surprised if Barcelona wins this match despite that head-to-head, they are the favorite. The secrete of winning Bayern and prevent them from scoring any goal has been revealed by Leverkusen and Aston Villa but I don't think that Barcelona will concentrate more on their defense because they're also a club that love dominating matches like Bayern. It will be strong match for both clubs.

If you look at the game play of Barcelona this season you will realize that they are not confidence of themselves when you compare them to the Barcelona of before let's not being up the matches they have won in the domestic league their performance against Monaco clearly explained a lot of tension and weakness in their team which shows that a little shake in the team can affect their entire performance even when they are dominating the game.
Playing against a Bayern Munich team that is not very solid like before Barcelona will need to be extra careful because they may not have the opportunity to dominate the game in possession as they used to do when they have the stars in the team so Bayern Munich will have the advantage of attacking Barcelona since it is obvious that their defense is not solid enough this season.
Barcelona may be looking at securing a draw against Bayern Munich but if Barcelona plays against Sevilla they should be able to win the game because Sevilla doesn't have a good record this season in the league but Barcelona against Real Madrid I don't know if they can defeat Real Madrid since Madrid confidence is also shaking.
Madrid have players dropping out one by one, it's unknown who will be next. I certainly hope that no one and they will be without injuries, but they are starting the season badly, they really look very uncertain and I even have doubts that they can win not only the Champions League this season, but at least their championship. And Barcelona too, I think they are strong only inside their championship, but not in the Champions League, let's see how they play of course, but so far it's hard to believe that they can reach the final

Now Barcelona have Flick, who of course is very familiar with Bayern, especially since he also in the past was a coach who destroyed Barcelona with a fairly landslide score when coaching Bayern so this is indeed a good addition to strength of course.
Can't wait for this match because after all this will be a match between revenge, prestige and of course reunion where there are several players who will reunite with their former clubs which will add to the drama in the match later.

Actually, Bayern Munich losing to Aston Villa in the champions league match they played last week really made Bayern drop a bit in performance because i was literally thinking that since they lost to Aston Villa that they would do better in their domestic league match against Eintratcht Franfurt but instead there was a lot of mistakes made by Munich defenders of which Vincent Kompany needs some works to do in the defense line of Bayern Munich because that's where there problem is emanating from. The strikers are good and are representing well but the defense is becoming their weak points because it's really painful when the strikers puts in so much efforts to score goals only for the goals to be equalized due to porousity of the defenders.
~~~
Barcelona played well in the last match against Young Boys. Barcelona dominated the entire match. Barcelona will also play at home against Munich. Considering the home match, Barcelona team can be considered as favorites.
However, Barcelona's results against Bayern Munich are not good. Barcelona have lost their last 6 matches against Munich. And these 6 matches were Champions League matches. So it is difficult to predict how Barcelona will perform in the next match against Munich. Barcelona have been in good form this season thanks to Hansi Flick. So there is nothing surprising if Barcelona wins. However, Barcelona's past record against Munich is not good.
Barcelona could win their home match, but on condition that they can't make mistakes. Taking advantage of the opportunities created throughout the match is mandatory, but we all know that Bayern Munich are also in their best form. Bayern Munich lost to Aston Villa in the Champions League, while Barcelona won against Young Boys, but that is not a reference for determining who will win.
