In their first two group games, Bayern Munich had to come from behind to defeat Rosengard and Benfica, but they were unable to pose a threat to the 2020–21 European Champions on matchday three.
The 3-0 victory over the German club puts them in second place, three points behind Benfica, who are currently in third, and eliminates them from contention.
Alexander Straus’ team has won two straight league games since their defeat to Barcelona, including a convincing 4-0 victory over Hoffenheim on Friday.
Maximiliane Rall and Linda Dallman each scored once to put Bayern in a two-goal lead, and Lea Schuller added two more goals to secure a convincing victory.
Bayern can take heart from the fact that they have won all six of their competitive home games this season, even though they will face a more difficult test on Wednesday.
Barcelona, who has won 14 straight games this season, is aiming to keep their perfect record across all competitions.
Three of those victories came in the Champions League, where they beat Benfica 9-0 to kick off their European campaign.
After that, Barcelona easily defeated Rosengard 4-1 thanks to goals from Geyse, Aitana Bonmati, and Claudia Pina, who also helped Barcelona defeat Bayern 3-0 at home two weeks ago.
In their most recent game, Barcelona overcame a deficit to defeat Real Sociedad thanks to goals from Marta Torrejon and Lucy Bronze.
Barcelona will look to build on their impressive performance on Wednesday after scoring 28 goals in seven competitive away games this season.
