New Delhi: Bayern Munich will open their UEFA Champions League 2025-26 campaign with a blockbuster clash against Chelsea in matchweek 1 on Wednesday. Bayern, who lost in the quarterfinals to Inter Milan last season, will be aiming to go all the way this time around as they look to end their six-year-long wait for the European crown.
Bayern will lock horns with Chelsea at their home, the Allianz Arena and will be hoping to get off to a winning start in the new season. Bayern have made a strong start to the season with three wins in a row in the Bundesliga. They will be heading into the clash against Chelsea on the back of a thumping 5-0 win over Hamburger SV in the Bundesliga.
Harry Kane has been in fine form for Bayern, having bagged a brace against Hamburger, while new signing Luis Diaz also managed to find the back of the net. Chelsea, on the other hand, have also been unbeaten in the Premeir League this season with two wins and two draws in their first four matches.
Chelsea’s forward line has been impressive this season, with the likes of Joao Pedro and Pedro Neto in good form. However, the Blues will miss the services of striker Liam Delap, who is out with an injury. Chelsea will also come up against their loanee striker, Nicholas Jackson, for the first time this season. Jackson signed for Bayern on a season-long loan during the summer transfer window.
