Xavi takes whole squad, including Lewandowski, to Munich

Barcelona's squad list for the match in Munich has been released. Bayern will host the Catalans, who are looking to take revenge after the painful elimination in the Champions League group stage last season. Bayern, on the other hand, go into this one having drawn their last three Bundesliga encounters. Lewandowski, Bellerin, Marcos Alonso... They will all be there. 

The Barca coach included all the squad for thr trip, including Sergi Roberto, who has muscle problems, so either he has recovered or he is still not 100% and Xavi wants him at the Allianz Arena in any case. Youngsters Pablo Torre, who still has not had much game time, and Arnau Tenas are also in the list. 

The full squad is the following: Ter Stegen, Bellerin, Pique, Araujo, Busquets, Dembele, Pedri, Lewandowski, Ansu Fati, Ferran Torres, Memphis, Christensen, Marcos Alonso, Jordi Alba, Franck Kessie, Sergi Roberto, Frenkie de Jong, Raphinha, Koundé, Eric García, Inaki Pena, Alex Balde, Gavi, Pablo Torre and Arnau Tenas.

There are lots of interesting stories ahead of the match. Robert Lewandowski will face his old club. Ter Stegen and Manuel Neuer will fight to become the number one goalkeeper with the World Cup around the corner, Marcos Alonso could make his debut at a very important venue, Ansu Fati could make the difference again.
