Champions League opener: FC Bayern challenges Barca on Tuesday!

On Tuesday evening there will be a very special league start: The UEFA Women's Champions League starts with an exciting duel between FC Barcelona and FC Bayern Munich. The game kicks off at 9:00 p.m. at the Estadi Johan Cruyff in Barcelona. While the Bayern women reached the quarter-finals last season, FC Barcelona even made it to the final, but lost 1-0 to Arsenal. So there's a lot of explosiveness in the game!

The broadcast takes place via Disney+, which has taken over the rights to the Women's Champions League for the next five years and is therefore offering the games for a fee. The monthly subscription with advertising costs 6.99 euros, without advertising you can get excited for 10.99 euros. A special highlight: The broadcast begins just in time for the game's kick-off, and the commentators Matthias Naebers, Ruben Zimmermann and Nico Seepe take over the microphone.

Setting up and expectations

The Bayern women go into this encounter as outsiders. Captain Giulia Gwinn will lead the team, which is made up of a mix of experienced international players and up-and-coming talent. Player Glódís Viggósdóttir was very positive before the game: “I’m really looking forward to the challenge.” Lea Schüller also expects support from the stable defense in the coming games. Bayern have won four games in the Bundesliga so far and drew 0-0 against Carl Zeiss Jena.

For FC Barcelona, ​​this could be another step towards a title that they have won three times in the last five years. Coach Jose Barcala is relying on a well-rehearsed team that will really challenge Bayern on the way to the championship.

The game will be broadcast exclusively on Disney+, while DAZN no longer has broadcast rights. For fans who want to watch the games on free TV, the Champions League remains wishful thinking. The summer is coming to an end, but exciting matches are now on the program for football enthusiasts.
