All eyes will be on Bayern coach Pep Guardiola, who will return to Camp Nou to face his former club.
Guardiola said it is a special, emotional experience for him but at the end of the day, it is a football match.
His old side is now coached by Luis Enrique, who he played alongside at Barcelona in the 1990s.
Enrique says he is looking forward to the clashes with his old friend.
"It will be a special match as Pep (Guardiola) will face Barca for the first time. And I will face him as coach for the first time, so it is special for me as well. I am sure it will be for all the players as it is the first time they will have Pep on the other side. We will play them in two matches and it is a wonderful thing to look forward to for both Barca and Bayern fans."
Guardiola won the European Cup as a player with Barcelona in 1992 and then won 14 trophies in four seasons as coach, including the Champions League in 2009 and 2011. He joined Bayern Munich in 2013.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid will go to Italy for the first leg of their matchup against Juventus as they look to become the first club to retain the trophy in the Champions League era.

Nibali's Astana Retain World Tour License
In cycling,
Tour de France champion Vincenzo Nibali has been cleared to ride in this year's race after his Astana team retained their world tour license.
Astana has been tainted with doping cases and cycling's governing body UCI wanted the sport's Licence Commission to strip the Kazakh team of its elite status.
The Commission agreed Astana should retain its license, subject to strict monitoring of a number of special measures.
A string of Astana riders tested positive for banned substances last season, including Maxim and Vlentin Iglinsky, who were teammates with Nibali and helped him win the Tour de France.
The World Tour license guarantees its holder direct participation to the top races including the Tour de France, the Paris-Roubaix classic and the Giro d'Italia.
