Bayern Munich are set to go up against a familiar face when they take on Barcelona in the Champions League on Tuesday.
Leading the line for the Spanish giants will be Polish striker Robert Lewandowski, who left Bayern for Barca during the summer after eight seasons with the Germans, during which he scored 344 goals in 375 appearances.
Bayern started their Group C campaign with an impressive 2-0 win at Inter Milan, when Leroy Sane and own goal by Danilo D'Ambrosio secured all three points in Italy. Barca trounced Viktoria Plzen 5-1 on the same night, with Lewandowski grabbing a hat-trick.
In the Bundesliga on Saturday, Bayern drew 2-2 at home with Stuttgart – their third consecutive draw that leaves the reigning champions third in the table, behind Freiburg and surprise leaders Union Berlin.
Manager Julian Nagelsmann said his side's form will not change their preparation for Tuesday's match.
“I approach the week the way I would have done it if we had won,” Nagelsmann said after the Stuttgart draw.
“We're trying to come up with a good idea for Barcelona, which will be difficult. I would have done the same thing if we had won 4-0 today.”
After his side's win over Inter, Nagelsmann said his side were ready to take on the man who won eight Bundesliga titles and one Champions League with the Bavarian club.
“I am looking forward to it [the reunion with Lewandowski]. Not so much as an opponent because he's very dangerous, but as a person I will be pleased to see him.
“I hope the fans will honour that too, regardless of how things were with his departure.”
What sanctions would be reimposed?
Under ‘snapback’, measures imposed on Iran by the UN Security Council in six resolutions would be restored, including:
- An arms embargo
- A ban on uranium enrichment and reprocessing
- A ban on launches and other activities with ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons, as well as ballistic missile technology transfer and technical assistance
- A targeted global asset freeze and travel ban on Iranian individuals and entities
- Authorisation for countries to inspect Iran Air Cargo and Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines cargoes for banned goods

Quick pearls of wisdom
Focus on gratitude: And do so deeply, he says. “Think of one to three things a day that you’re grateful for. It needs to be specific, too, don’t just say ‘air.’ Really think about it. If you’re grateful for, say, what your parents have done for you, that will motivate you to do more for the world.”
Know how to fight: Shetty married his wife, Radhi, three years ago (he met her in a meditation class before he went off and became a monk). He says they’ve had to learn to respect each other’s “fighting styles” – he’s a talk it-out-immediately person, while she needs space to think. “When you’re having an argument, remember, it’s not you against each other. It’s both of you against the problem. When you win, they lose. If you’re on a team you have to win together.”
