Previous meetings • The teams have met in ten previous matches, the last eight in the UEFA Champions League, and all but two in the knockout stages. • The outcome of those three previous UEFA Champions League ties is two Barcelona wins to one for Bayern.

Müller scored twice in Munich and once in a 3-0 away success in Barcelona, where Gerard Piqué added an own goal. • Barcelona got the better of Bayern in the 2008/09 quarter-finals. Messi also scored twice in that tie as they won the first leg 4-0 at the Camp Nou before a 1-1 draw back in Munich. • The teams were paired together in the 1998/99 UEFA Champions League group stage, Bayern winning 1-0 in Munich and 2-1 at the Camp Nou, where they returned for that season's final loss to Manchester United FC. • Bayern came out 4-3 aggregate winners in the 1995/96 UEFA Cup semi-final; Otto Rehhagel's side drew 2-2 in Germany before prevailing 2-1 away to a Barcelona outfit that included goalkeeper Carles Busquets, father of Sergio. • In all four of those previous knockout contests, the winners of the Barcelona-Bayern tie went on to win the trophy.
