More than 1,600 Winter Olympics badges with different themes and shapes were displayed on a 10-meter-long Olympic badge exhibition stand, as well as several torches and mascots from previous Olympic Games.

Barcelona vs. Bayern Munich - UEFA Champions League

Barcelona and Bayern Munich begin their respective quests for Champions League glory with a blockbuster Group E clash at Camp Nou on Tuesday night.

Barcelona have had additional prep time for the welcome of Bayern Munich and they have made a bright start to the season, picking up seven points from their three matches so far.
