Robert Lewandowski is set for an emotional return to Bayern Munich as Barcelona take on the German champions in the Champions League.
The Polish striker swapped Germany for Spain in a £42.5 million transfer this summer and has already scored 9 goals in 6 games for the Catalan club, including a hat-trick in Barcelona’s 5-1 Champions League win over Viktoria Plzen.
The two giants also faced one another in the group stages last season with Bayern running out 3-0 winners both home and away.
But this season is expected to be a much closer game, with Barcelona having brought in a number of new faces in the summer including Raphinha, Jules Kounde and of course, Lewandowski.
