Chelsea‘s season isn’t quite over yet, as they head to Bayern Munich for their Champions League last-16 second leg.
The first-leg scoreline makes this an uphill battle for Frank Lampard’s team, with Bayern winning that game 3-0.
It’ll almost be a case of getting the game out of the way so the players can begin their summer break, barring an absolute miracle turnaround.
Sharing the full story, not just the headlines
For Bayern, this is essentially a warm-up game ahead of the latter rounds, which take place in Portugal.
Here’s everything you need to know about the match.
When is it and what time is kick-off?
The match will begin at 8pm BST on Saturday 8 August at the Allianz Arena.
