Munich, Germany--Factfile on Bayern Munich and Barcelona ahead of their Champions League semi-final, second-leg, tie on Tuesday:
Form: Barcelona are hunting their first win in Munich on the back of Saturday's 2-0 win over David Moyes's Real Sociedad in the Spanish league which means they have now scored 19 goals without reply in their last four games.
Brazil star Neymar has now scored in each of his last six matches to take his tally for the season to 35, whilst Barca have now not conceded a goal for seven straight games.
Barca's unbeaten streak in the Spanish league has been extended to 18 games and they have won 28 of their last 30 matches in all competitions.
In contrast, German champions Bayern are on a four-match losing streak for the first time in 24 years and have failed to score in any of their last three matches for the first time in 15 years.
Pep Guardiola's Bavarians played nearly 80 minutes of Saturday's shock 1-0 defeat at home to Augsburg with ten men after reserve goalkeeper Pepe Reina was sent off.
Having also been dumped out of the German Cup by Borussia Dortmund in the semi-finals nearly a fortnight ago, Bayern need a footballing miracle to keep alive their dreams of a sixth European title and more silverware this season.
