The Bayern star took to social media to state his delight about the challenge.
Lewandowski will play Bayern for the first time since his high-profile transfer from the Allianz Arena to Camp Nou this summer.
In 22/23 season, he helped the German team in two 3-0 victories over Barca. Although this time, the Spanish powerhouse will be expected to put up a better fight.
Meanwhile, for the second consecutive year, Bayern and Barcelona were placed in the same Champions League group.
Inter and Viktoria Plzen completed the lineup in Group C, which is now referred to as the Group of Death.
