Papers: Bayern provoke Barcelona ahead of Champions League tie

Bayern Munich have not been shy about talking about Friday’s quarter-final clash with Barcelona in Lisbon.

According to Mundo Deportivo, the Barca players are well aware of what has been said and will be “extra motivated” for the game after being “stung” by some of Bayern’s words.

It all started with former Bayern Munich man Lothar Matthäus, who made it clear he thinks the Bundesliga champions will progress with ease, according to Marca.

“Bayern will have to make a lot of mistakes to lose to this Barcelona, today’s Barcelona isn’t the same as it was before,” Matthaus explained.
