Barcelona will host Bayern Munich in a crucial UEFA Champions League clash at Camp Nou on Wednesday, October 26.
Bayern Munich are the current Group C leaders with 12 points from four games in the competition so far this season.
The Blaugrana, meanwhile, have only registered four points from four games in this year's edition of the competition.
Furthermore, this clash is a must-win for Barcelona if they are to stand any chance of getting to the knockout stage of the competition. They are also dependent on Inter Milan's results but need to win their own games first.
Without further ado, let's look at five players to watch out for in this keenly anticipated clash on Wednesday.
#5 Marc-André ter Stegen (Barcelona)
The German international has arguably been one of the best performing goalkeepers this season in Europe's top five leagues.
Marc-Andre ter Stegen has kept nine clean sheets in La Liga in 11 matches. This is the highest number of clean sheets kept by a goalkeeper in Europe's top five leagues this season.
The 30-year-old is the first goalkeeper to keep nine clean sheets in his first 11 games of the season in La Liga history. His brilliance in goal is crucial for his team in their must-win game against Bayern Munich on Wednesday.
#4 Jamal Musiala (Bayern Munich)
The 19-year-old has been composed in attack and his presence has been fruitful for Bayern Munich this season.
Jamal Musiala has netted six goals and provided five assists in 10 appearances in the Bundesliga this season. Furthermore, he has registered two assists in three appearances in the UEFA Champions League appearances this season.
Musiala was named the Man of the Match when Bayern Munich defeated Barcelona 2-0 in their previous clash on September 13.
He remains a key player for Bayern Munich going into this encounter on Wednesday.
#3 Ousmane Dembele (Barcelona)
The Frenchman has been outstanding in attack for Xavi Hernandez in recent weeks.
Ousmane Dembele has netted three goals and has registered five assists in 11 appearances in La Liga this season. Furthermore, he has netted one goal and has registered two assists in the UEFA Champions League this season.
Only Lionel Messi has registered more assists than Dembele in 2022 and his intuition is crucial for Blaugrana in this clash.
#2 Sadio Mane (Bayern Munich)
The Senegalese international has been sharp for Bayern Munich in attack since joining from Liverpool in the season.
Sadio Mane has netted five goals in 11 Bundesliga appearances so far. Furthermore, he has netted two goals and has registered one assist in four appearances in the UEFA Champions League this season.
The 30-year-old experience and attacking threat makes him one of the players to watch out for in this clash.
#1 Robert Lewandowski (Barcelona)
The Poland international has been clinical in attack for Barcelona since joining from Bayern Munich in the summer.
Lewandowski has netted 12 goals and has registered four assists in 11 La Liga appearances this campaign. Furthermore, he's currently the joint-highest scorer in the UEFA Champions League so far this season, scoring five goals.
The 34-year-old attacking threat makes him one of the players to watch out for in this clash. He will hope he can help the Blaugrana pull out a victory against his former side.
