Match Background: Bayern München - FC Barcelona

The stadium
(c) Ligatotal.de
Completed and opened in 2005, Munich's Allianz Arena is currently counting to the most advanced and elitest football stadiums in entire Europe. Offering 68.000 seats in international matches - 3.000 less than in normal Bundesliga matches of their co-owners Bayern München - it is furthermore the third biggest German football arena. 
Despite its temporally considered quite small history, Allianz Arena was already the showplace of multiple events where huge teams have achieved great glory, among others, when Chelsea FC beat Bayern München in 2012 Champions League final or when Portugal were defeated by France in 2006 World Cup semifinal. Additionally, this tournament's opener match was held in Munich (Germany - Costa Rica).
