European juggernauts Bayern Munich and Manchester United lock horns at the Allianz Arena for their opening Group A fixture in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

Boasting nine European crowns between them, the two teams last met in a competitive fixture nine years ago when Bayern ran out 3-1 winners in a quarter-final second-leg tie, while they last faced each other in the group stage back in 2001.
Harry Kane's 300th career club goal was cancelled out by Alex Grimaldo midway through the first half, before Leon Goretzka thought he has won it for the hosts with an 86th-minute strike, but Leverkusen snatched a point in dramatic fashion when Exequiel Palacios converted a penalty kick in the fourth minute of stoppage time following a VAR review.
Head coach Thomas Tuchel - who will serve a touchline suspension on Wednesday - felt that his side 'needed more bite' across the pitch to get themselves over the line, and the former Chelsea boss will be chomping at the bit to put things right for Wednesday's Group A opener with Man United, a team who the German boss has never beaten on home soil as a manager in four previous attempts.
Bayern themselves have never lost at home to the Red Devils, though, winning three and drawing two, and Tuchel's men will be confident of progressing to the Champions League knockout rounds for the 16th successive year considering that they are strong favourites to secure top spot in Group A ahead of Man United, Galatasaray and Copenhagen.
