?Barcelona is scheduled to visit Bayern Munich, but for the first time in recent years, questions about Bayern may be equally as prevalent as those about the Blaugrana.
That is, at least, the feeling in the Bayern dressing room. FC Bayern stumbled to a third consecutive domestic draw against Stuttgart on Saturday. Since then, Mundo Deportivo has published a report from BILD stating that some of the players in the Bayern dressing room think manager Julian Nagelsmann should be more self-critical as he attempts to address those problems.
"The pressure is a personal experience. As Nagelsmann informed the media, "I will approach the week precisely as I would have if we had won. We will train, analyze the opposition, and attempt to come up with a strong strategy for Barcelona.
Nagelsmann appeared unworried with the situation, while Sporting Director Hasan Salihamidzic expressed some concern following the Stuttgart tie. His words appeared in Diario AS.
"This is unsatisfactory. One way or another, we have to get better.
"Today, there wasn't enough. Against Barcelona, we have to shift up two or perhaps three gears.
There is no doubt that this Bayern team is still more than capable of defeating Barcelona. Bayern Munich's standards have been so high lately that even a little downturn sparks a lot of discussion. However, this will be Barcelona's first significant test of the year, so it's impossible to predict how they will do.
Barcelona have won their last four domestic matches this season after their draw against Rayo Vallecano in their first match. They have also scored 20 goals in their last five competitive matches, conceding only 2, including a 3-0 win against Sevilla and 5-1 win against Viktoria Plzen in their champions league opening match. Despite their fine form so far this season, the match against Bayern Munich tomorrow will be their first significant test of the season and it will be difficult to predict how it will go.
