After a near-five month break, Champions League football is back. A number of teams are picking up where they left off with the second leg of the round of 16 including Bayern Munich who play host to English side Chelsea today. Read our guide below to find out how to get a reliable live stream of Bayern Munich vs Chelsea.
The game is tipped heavily in Munich’s favor after a 3-0 win at Stamford Bridge in the first leg of this last-16 tie. Those three away goals, two from Serge Gnabry and one from Robert Lewandowski, mean that Chelsea need to score at least three away goals of their own at the Allianz in order to stand a chance at progressing, something they haven’t done in the Champions League knockout rounds since 2009.
Following the enforced season break, both sides returned to domestic action with the German Bundesliga resuming in May and England’s Premier League following suit in June. The Bavarians won this year’s Bundesliga title at a canter, securing a record eighth consecutive title. Hans-Dieter Flick’s side also went on to lift this season’s German Cup meaning the Champions League represents the opportunity for the treble this year.
Chelsea’s return to competitive football has also been good, though not quite so flush with silverware. Seven victories from nine post-lockdown Premier League games saw the Pensioners finish fourth in the league, securing Champions League football for next season. Frank Lampard’s side did progress to the FA Cup final only to fall 2-1 at the hands of London rivals Arsenal. The Champions League is Chelsea’s last opportunity to take home a trophy this campaign.
It’s set to be an entertaining Champions League encounter with the winner heading to Portugal to see out the remainder of the tournament in a one-off, 12-day event. Read on to find out how to watch the match no matter where you are in the world.
