The two clubs have won five European Cup/ UEFA Champions League titles each and have been involved in some epic clashes over the last few years including 2015's semi-final showdown that went in the Blaugrana's favour.
 
Barcelona booked their place in the last eight with a 4-2 aggregate win over Napoli while Bayern marched into the quarter-finals following a 7-1 thumping of Chelsea over two legs.

Bayern are unbeaten in their last 27 matches across all competitions and have won their last 18 fixtures. Key to their incredible run of form has been Robert Lewandowski who has scored 53 goals in 44 matches across all competitions for the Bundesliga champions this season.

In contrast to Bayern's run after lockdown, Barcelona have struggled and let slip their lead atop the LaLiga standings as fierce rivals Real Madrid claimed the league crown. With all their hopes now pinned on the Champions League, the Spanish club will look to Lionel Messi for inspiration. 
 
Messi has scored 31 times in 43 games this season and will be hoping to inspire his team to victory as he himself aims to win a fifth UCL crown.
