Barcelona are set for their first Champions League clash since the departure of Lionel Messi - and it doesn't come much tougher than German giants Bayern Munich.

After Messi's shock exit to Paris Saint-Germain over the summer, Barca have started the new La Liga season in decent fashion - winning two and drawing one of their opening three games.

Memphis Depay - their summer signing from French side Lyon - has scored in his last two matches, while Luuk de Jong - who moved to Barca on loan from Sevilla - could start up front against the Bavarians.

Manager Ronaldo Koeman was back on the training pitch on Monday, where the likes of Depay, De Jong and Frenkie de Jong where put through their paces ahead of Tuesday's game at Camp Nou. Making up the rest of Group E are Portuguese side Benfica and Ukrainian outfit Dynamo Kiev.
