Bayern Munich vs Chelsea: what to know about the match?

Last season, Bayern reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League before being knocked out by Inter Milan.

They crushed Leipzig 6–0 in the opening round, edged Augsburg 3–2, and most recently dismantled Hamburg 5–0.

Chelsea return to the Champions League after several years away. In the previous campaign, they secured a fourth-place finish in the Premier League and also triumphed in the UEFA Conference League. Adding to their silverware, the Blues were crowned Club World Cup champions in the summer. Their domestic start has been steady — draws against Crystal Palace and Brentford combined with wins over West Ham and Fulham.
