Bayern Munich

Since it was announced that Munich will play host to the finals of this year's tournament, Bayern have embraced the honour by matching the rest of the world pound for pound with quality football.

The four-time European champions welcome the continents biggest clubs this year, but certainly aren't pushovers by any means. The Germans are on the hunt for their illusive fifth title and have the home advantage on their side.

The story so far

After knocking out FC Zurich in the play-off, Bayern went on to prove themselves to be one of the favourites this season by finishing top in the very tough group of Napoli, Man City and Villareal. Bayern then went on to knock out FC Basel and French powerhouse Marseille in the knockout phase of the tournament to secure their place in the semis.
