Bayern Munich will draw Atlético de Madrid, Salzburg and Lokomotiv Moscow in the group stage of the Champions League


Well, it’s official. Bayern Munich will face Atletico Madrid, Salzburg and in the group stage of the Champions League this season. The holders of the title were located in group A, being the first team to be drawn.

It’s not an easy draw, especially given this year’s match congestion. Atlético is naturally a big concern, as they eliminated Liverpool in Ro16 last season. They have since signed Luis Suárez from Barcelona, ​​and this time they look even more formidable. Hansi Flick will have to work hard trying to overthrow Simeone’s men.

Meanwhile, RB Salzburg is famous for being Leipzig’s feeder club, but it’s not far behind either. The Austrians took Klopp and his men to the wall last year, and they are likely to do it again this time. They may have lost Erling Haaland, but they are very talented and could hit the Bavarians if they aren’t careful.

Rounding out the group is the Russian team Lokomotiv Moscow. Here’s the full Bayern Munich group, in all its glory:

The first day of the group stage begins in October, and the matches are intense and fast. Bayern will have to prepare for a difficult time in the league and in Europe, given the small team that Hansi Flick has at his disposal. Hopefully he gets a few more signings before the transfer window closes.

The rest of the groups are the following:

German clubs get a decidedly mixed draw. Borussia Dortmund have a group they should probably advance from, even though Zenit and Lazio are decent teams. RB Leipzig MIGHT be able to beat Manchester United by knockouts if he plays his cards right, but it’s a tough task. Meanwhile, Borussia Monchengladbach will likely face Shakhtar Donetsk for a chance to clinch third place and the Europa League. Poor foals, they never had a chance.

The full schedule of the group stage matches should be confirmed tomorrow. We will keep you informed as the news arrives. What do you think of the draw? Can Bayern lead this group? Comment below!
