Manchester City produced a gutsy performance to fight back from 2-0 down and earn a draw away to Bayern Munich.
Barcala’s side came into this encounter unbeaten in their last 15 group-stage matches and having made a run to the semi-finals last season that, according to Gwinn, had left them “even hungrier and eager for more”.
Andrée Jeglertz’s side themselves had arrived in Germany full of confidence after a start to their domestic campaign.
Barcala had been able to make five changes to his starting XI, having rested Klara Bühl and Gwinn against Köln on Saturday, and they looked full of energy.
The 25-year-old was at the heart of everything Bayern created early on, firing a volley wide before setting up the equally prolific Pernille Harder for a half chance.

Barcala’s side came into this encounter unbeaten in their last 15 group-stage matches and having made a run to the semi-finals last season that, according to Gwinn, had left them “even hungrier and eager for more”.

Andrée Jeglertz’s side themselves had arrived in Germany full of confidence after a start to their domestic campaign. Their 4-2 win over Liverpool on Friday night had been a sign of their mettle, finding a way to win despite not being at their best.
Reality hit in a first half that saw a refreshed Bayern take control of proceedings. Barcala had been able to make five changes to his starting XI, having rested Klara Bühl and Gwinn against Köln on Saturday, and they looked full of energy.
Ballon d’Or nominee Bühl at once stretched every sinew of City’s fragile-looking defence with her pace and guile. The 25-year-old was at the heart of everything Bayern created early on, firing a volley wide before setting up the equally prolific Pernille Harder for a half chance.
