"First of all, you know since last season, I always like to go game by game. You cannot think about the final or semi-final if you can't win games in the group stage. We have the first one against a fantastic team, one of the three or four favourites in this competition, but we are going to try to do our job in the best way."
"Enzo Maresca's young side are back at Europe's top table after a two-year absence and face a stern test when they open the league phase by facing Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday. Yet James is not worried about Chelsea's lack of experience and accepts that July's triumph in the Club World Cup means they are contenders to become European champions."
Chelsea return to the Champions League after a two-year absence and open their group phase against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday. Enzo Maresca's young side view the match as a stern test but emphasise a game-by-game approach, saying teams cannot think about later rounds without winning group matches. Reece James expressed confidence that Chelsea can compete with the best clubs in the world and pointed to the club's July Club World Cup triumph as evidence that they are contenders. Maresca described Bayern as one of three or four favourites to win the competition.
