Over the weekend, the victorious "Chelsea" club in the London derby welcomes perhaps the biggest challenge of this season. On Tuesday evening, the "Blues" coached by Frank Lampard will face the Munich "Bayern" team, which year after year is considered one of the favorites to win the UEFA Champions League. "Bayern" proved in the group stage that this season they are ready to pose a challenge to any team that crosses their path - the Bavarians did not lose a single point in six matches and scored more goals than any other team. German legend Lothar Matthaus is convinced that "Bayern" will advance to the next stage. "Bayern" are the clear favorites," - said the German. - "This is no longer the Chelsea team with players like Ballack, Terry, Lampard, and Drogba." "Chelsea" is a young team undergoing changes. Therefore, I think that "Bayern", after two good performances, will move on to the next stage. "Bayern" also has more quality in their lineup. In the "Premier" League, "Chelsea" is only in fourth place and trails the leaders by 30 points. Additionally, they have lost a very important player - N'Golo Kante. It is clear that "Chelsea" is no longer the team that shined in their best times," - England's chances to advance to the next stage are not believed by L. Matthaus.
L. Matthaus doesn't believe in "Chelsea" chances against "Bayern": "Bavarians are clear favorites"
