Depay & Barcelona train ahead of Bayern UCL clash, as Fati continues recovery|Champions League 欧冠 |

Spanish heavyweights and five-time European champions Barcelona trained on Monday, a day before their blockbuster clash with German Bundesliga holders and six-time UEFA Champions League winners Bayern Munich.
Bayern's infamous 8-2 drubbing of Barcelona in the 2020 Champions League quarter-final - after which the German side went on to lift Europe's biggest club prize - remains fresh in the memory, but the teams have not met in the group stages since the 1998-99 campaign, where the Bavarian giants claimed a pair of 1-0 and 2-1 victories. Barcelona's attacking threat has taken a hit following the departures of Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann, while Sergio Aguero, Ousmane Dembele and Ansu Fati remain injured or doubts, so Dutch duo Memphis Depay and Luuk de Jong could lead Ronald Koeman's frontline. |
