On Wednesday, December 7th, Bayern Munich will face FC Barcelona in the final match of Group E in the UEFA Champions League. Undoubtedly, it is one of the most attractive matches of the round. The blaugranas need to get the three points in order not to depend on the match between Dynamo Kiev and Benfica.
The coach of the culés, Xavi Hernández, gave statements before the crucial match. The former coach of Al-Sadd in Qatar sees the game as a true decider and is optimistic about breaking the negative forecast his team has, as they have never achieved a victory at the home of the Bavarians.
"It's a final and we depend on ourselves. If we win, we are qualified. History says that we have never won in Munich, but now we can break this statistic. We have a very good opportunity to make history, with the first victory there, and we are eager for it to happen," said Hernández.

Likewise, the blaugrana strategist pointed out that if a positive result is achieved, he would not see it as a miracle and that his team is prepared to face this type of situation.
"It depends on how it goes, we will see if it's a miracle or not. After the match, we will talk about how we have been or if Bayern has hurt us. I don't see it as a miracle because it's a match and Barça can beat any opponent," commented the former footballer who won the Champions League in the 2014-2015 season, leaving the German team behind.
"We are prepared to compete. I hope the recent defeats don't affect us psychologically. We have a difficult task at hand and only a victory will do," Xavi emphasized, according to the FC Barcelona website.
