"(Wednesday) we have the first game against a fantastic team that's probably one of the 3-4 favorites for the competition. But we'll try to do our job in the best way,"
"Bayern Munich is a team that already showed last year that they are very close and can compete to win this competition. This is my personal view. I see them together with 3-4 other clubs as the favourites to win the competition."
"Maybe it could be a small advantage. Because he [Kompany] can ask Nico about the way we work and prepare. Nico was with us the entire season so he knows exactly the way we approach games. We'll see anyway,"
Bayern Munich is regarded among the three or four favorites to win the Champions League. Chelsea travels to the Allianz Arena for a challenging opening fixture in a high-energy atmosphere. Nicolas Jackson's loan to Bayern could offer a small tactical edge because he spent the entire season with Chelsea and understands the club's preparation and approach. Jackson is unlikely to play a major role against his parent club but could contribute institutional knowledge in specific circumstances. Chelsea must manage several injuries, while Bayern's manager appears to have settled a starting XI for important matches.
