Champions League 2020-21: 5 players who could decide the outcome of Bayern Munich vs Barcelona

#3 Thomas Muller | Bayern Munich

FC Bayern München v DSC Arminia Bielefeld - Bundesliga

Thomas Muller loves big games and facing Barcelona in the Champions League might be the perfect stage for him to demonstrate his might. One of the most versatile and unique footballers in world football, the Raumdeuter continues to be a key player for Bayern Munich.

Muller is showing no signs of slowing down and has racked up an extraordinary number of goal contributions for the Bavarians. With six goals and 15 assists in all competitions, the 32-year old is proving to be the club's chief creator. Barcelona will be wary of Muller's threat when they meet each other tomorrow night.

Muller's penchant for finding and creating space is unmatched. Blessed with tactical intelligence, the German will surely cause a lot of trouble for Barcelona's defense. Like his brace against the Catalan giants which resulted in Barcelona's 8-2 defeat, Muller can decide the outcome of this tie within a blink of an eye.

#2 Memphis Depay | Barcelona

FC Barcelona v RCD Espanyol - La Liga Santander

Memphis Depay made a sensational start to the new campaign following his transfer to Barcelona in the summer. The Dutchman significantly increased the much needed teeth to the Blaugrana attack with his pace and wide range of skillset on the flanks.

With eight goals and two assists, Depay has been Barcelona's top scorer so far this campaign. However, the 27-year old has recently endured a few disappointing outings, indicating his low confidence and lack of composure in the final third. He is yet to have any kind of impact in the Champions League.

Despite a slump in form, Depay is still considered to be a huge asset for Barcelona. The winger will likely trouble Bayern Munich with what might be his shot at redemption in Europe. This might be the best way for him to open his account in the Champions League and recover some form.

#1 Robert Lewandowski | Bayern Munich

Robert Lewandowski might have missed out on his first Ballon d’Or but he remains arguably the best forward in football at the moment. The Polish hitman has carried on his blistering form into the new season, bagging a whopping 27 goals this season across all competitions.

Lewandowski has also been a class apart in the Champions League, sharing the top position in the goalscoring charts with Ajax's Sebastien Haller. Nine of his goals have come in just five Champions League games, which is a testament to the 33-year old's unstoppable goal-scoring abilities.

Lewandowski is undoubtedly the biggest threat for Barcelona.
