Hello! And welcome to The Athletic, where our live coverage takes us to Munich and a tasty midweek clash between Bayern and Celtic.
Both teams are looking to progress to the round of 16 in this year’s Champions League, which is operating under its new and moderately confusing format.
But the brief for the two teams tonight is simple: a win on aggregate will see them advance to the next round while defeat means elimination.
It’s advantage Bayern with their 2-1 win in Glasgow in the first leg putting them in the driving seat. Celtic must win to stand a chance of staying in the competition. There are still a few hours until kick-off, but there is plenty to discuss, so stick with us!
