Premature shock on the program for the first day of the Champions League: both candidates announced to the trophy, Bayern Munich and Chelsea are challenging this Wednesday, to launch their first round. Between the German champion, unbeaten since the start of the season and formidable offensively, and the recent winner of the Club World Cup and the league conference, the poster promises to be explosive.
Beaten in the quarterfinals last season, Bayern is starting a change of cycle this season, with the departure of Thomas Müller, cloakroom leader in recent years. A change that has not seemed to disturb him beyond measure until now, if we trust his demonstration against Hamburg (5-0), last weekend, with a new double of Harry Kane. While Chelsea was hung by Brentford (2-2) this Saturday.
The kick-off of the Bayern Munich-Chelsea match is scheduled for Wednesday, September 17, at 9 p.m. Wednesday. The meeting will be followed live on Canal + Sport.
