Guardiola whose side were annihilated at this same stage of last year's competition 5-0 on aggregate by Real Madrid, will have the chance to make amends but he must overcome his former team with the decisive second leg at Bayern's Allianz Arena.

Barcelona host the first leg on at Camp Nou on 6 May before the second leg in Munich on May 12.
