Barcelona - Bayern Munich: Tactical Preview (UEFA Champions League)

FC Barcelona go in as second favorites in their UEFA Champions League quarterfinals match against one of the big favorites in the tournament, Bayern Munich.

Based on betting odds, Bayern have a 59% chance to progress, while Barcelona have a 41% chance. These are not overwhelming odds, but they are pretty tilted given we are talking about a single-match elimination where anything can happen. Barcelona are roughly speaking, as much as an underdog here as Atalanta against Paris Saint-Germain.
