Bayern Munich have continued their somewhat disappointing domestic form ahead of their Champions League clash with Barcelona, after the Bavarian giants drew 2-2 with VfB Stuttgart on Saturday.
Die Rekordmeister rested Sadio Mane and Leroy Sane and went ahead twice in the match, but could not get over the line. A 92nd minute penalty conceded by Matthijs de Ligt allowed Serhou Guirassy to level the score, despite Bayern having 68% of the ball and 19 shots.
This is their third draw in a row in the Bundesliga, following stalemates against Borussia Moenchengladbach and Union Berlin. In both of those fixtures Bayern went behind and against Union, the Bavarians had 75% of the ball and 21 shots without finding a winner.
It should be noted that Bayern did dispatch of Inter this Wednesday comfortably, winning 2-0. Although Barcelona might be able to take some heart from their poor Bundesliga form, it is likely that Xavi will seek to have more of the ball and take a more proactive approach than Union Berlin and Stuttgart.
