The highly anticipated UEFA Champions League match between Barcelona and Bayern Munich on October 23, 2024, is a classic rivalry. This will be their 16th meeting in European competition, with Bayern historically dominating the fixture. Bayern has won 11 of their past encounters, including their last six consecutive matches against Barcelona. This match will take place at Barcelona's temporary home, the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys.

Barcelona, though in good form in recent domestic matches, has struggled against Bayern in recent years. They have not scored in their last four meetings, the last goal coming in their infamous 8-2 defeat in 2020. Bayern's Thomas Müller has been particularly dangerous in this fixture, with eight goals in nine Champions League appearances against Barcelona.

Bayern enters the match looking to recover from a recent dip in their away form, having lost their last two away Champions League games. Despite this, their head-to-head record against Barcelona and Bundesliga clubs in general gives them confidence​.

This match will be crucial for both teams as they seek to advance in the group stage of the Champions League.
