The match between Bayern Munich and FC Barcelona next week Wednesday will take place behind closed doors.

FC Bayern Munich

Due to an increase in coronavirus cases in Bavaria, the blaugranes will play the critical Champions League match without any fans in the stadium.

Due to a significant surge in coronavirus infections in the German state of Bavaria in recent weeks, the game corresponding to Match Day Six in the Champions League and subsequent matches will be played without people in the stadium.

Xavi Hernández’s team will compete for a spot in the competition’s final 16. The blaugranes will advance to the knockout stages of the competition if they win in Munich, regardless of what happens in the group’s other match between Benfica and Dynamo Kyiv in Lisbon.

The previous time Barça visited the Allianz Arena in Munich was in 2015, when the blaugranes fell 3-2 in the competition’s semi-final but still advanced to the final in Berlin.

The most recent match between the two teams ended in 3-0 win to Bayern Munich in what was the first leg between the Group E teams.

Bayern Munich will look to extend their winning run in the group and advance to the knockout stage of the competition in sterling fashion.

A loss takes Barca to Europa League if Benfica beats Dynamo Kyiv next week Wednesday.

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
