Having secured top spot in what had been called the “Group of Death” with two matches to spare, FC Bayern take on Manchester City looking to maintain their winning momentum and see out the Champions’ League group phase with six wins from six. City on the other hand have to win to have any real chance of progressing to the knock out stages, which sets the match up nicely. Bayern would win a tight encounter in Munich with a last-minute Jérôme Boateng strike, and when the two teams met last season at the “Etihad” the hosts would be given a footballing lesson as FCB strolled to a glorious 3-1 win.

After their successful trip to Rome, the Red Dragons will be embarking on what has become an annual pilgrimage to Manchester as they see Bayern take on Manchster City. With more than twenty fan club members heading out in the morning for the match, there will no official fan club gathering at the Bavarian Beerhouse, though the game will be screened for all those unable to attend.
