It's the third quarterfinal of the 2019-20 UEFA Champions League, but it's the first involving two well-established giants of the game.
Barcelona faces Bayern Munich in a potentially scintillating match on Friday in Lisbon, where all the knockout stage games (from the quarterfinals onward) are being held. These are two genuine heavyweights in the competition, with each side having reached the quarterfinal stage (or later) a record 18 times.
Barca has been at this stage 13 years in a row, another record for the Catalan side. The last time the Blaugrana faced Bayern in the Champions League came in the 2014-15 semis, when the La Liga club claimed a 5-3 aggregate victory en route to its fifth (and most recent) continental title.
This time around, it's the German side that enters the match in better form, as Bayern has already lifted two trophies this season and is eager for a third. Led by the torrid goal scoring of Robert Lewandowski, Bayern has translated its domestic success into the Champions League as it has won all eight of its games in the current tournament.
Of course, it's impossible to discuss Bayern this season without mentioning breakout star Alphonso Davies. The Canadian teenager has stood tall against nearly every challenge he's faced thus far, but on Friday he may go head-to-head with Barca superstar Lionel Messi.
Can Davies prove himself against arguably the best player in history?
