Bayern Munich Clashes with Chelsea: Your Complete Viewing Guide for the Epic Showdown
Chelsea fans have undoubtedly basked in the wonderful recollections of 2012 as they prepare for Wednesday's Champions League encounter with Bayern Munich.
It was over 13 years ago when Roberto Di Matteo's dismissed Blues walked into the Allianz Arena, short-handed, and achieved a remarkable penalty shootout victory to secure their maiden Champions League trophy.
The Blues have subsequently captured two Premier League championships and numerous domestic trophies, along with their second European triumph in 2021, but that evening in Munich will forever be etched as the club's finest moment.
Enzo Maresca's squad will seek to channel the essence of Di Matteo's heroes on a somewhat less momentous occasion, with UEFA's expansion philosophy diminishing the weight of an early continental setback.
Nonetheless, a captivating encounter awaits at the Allianz Arena, as a soaring Bayern face the Club World Cup victors. Here's your guide to catching all the drama on television.
