Group B - Bayern Munich vs Tottenham Hotspur

A high stakes encounter between two brilliant teams awaits in Group B

Last season, Tottenham Hotspur shocked everyone as they saw out some tough competition to reach the Champions League finals for the first time in their history. Unfortunately for Mauricio Pochettino, his team fell just short at the final hurdle as Liverpool beat them in Madrid to deny the North London club their chance at glory.

In the transfer window, Tottenham did not rest and have added considerable quality to their team. The signings of Tanguy Ndombele, Giovani Lo Celso, and Ryan Sessegnon have made Spurs even stronger than last season. There is no doubt that this young, hungry team will be looking to prove that their run to Madrid wasn't a one-off.

Their first big battle will come in the group stages against the champions of Germany - Bayern Munich, who made headlines by signing Phillipe Coutinho on loan from Barcelona on deadline day. The club also added the likes of Benjamin Pavard, Ivan Perisic and Lucas Hernandez to their ranks. As five-time winners of the Champions League, Bayern will be looking to advance deep into the competition and rectify the eliminations of the last few seasons.

The battle between these two teams and the coaches should be an intriguing one as both will look to set the tone early, and send a message to their counterparts in the other groups.
