Barca and Bayern stars align for a classic at Camp Nou

Can there possibly be a more mouth-watering prospect in the whole of the 2015 football calendar than Barcelona v Bayern Munich at the Camp Nou tonight?

Well, actually, yes there can – and it would be, in all probability, Bayern Munich v Barcelona in the Allianz Arena in six days’ time.

The built-in assumption here, of course, is that this Champions League semi-final heavyweight clash will still be alive after the final whistle in the Camp Nou, not something one is entirely entitled to take for granted when stellar Barca are at home.
