Barcelona to kick off Champions League campaign against Bayern Munich

Barcelona will begin their 2021-22 Champions League campaign at home to Bayern Munich on September 14.

UEFA has confirmed the fixtures for the group stages following Thursday’s draw with Barcelona starting off with a visit from the Bundesliga champions.

Ronald Koeman’s side then head to Benfica on Matchday 2 before a double header against Ukrainian champions Dynamo Kiev.

It’s the second season in a row that Barca will face Mircea Lucescu’s side in the group stages. The Catalan giants won 2-1 at home last season and 4-0 back in Ukraine.

Barca’s last home game is against Benfica at the end of November before Koeman’s men finish off with a trip to the Allianz Arena to take on Bayern again.
