FC Bayern Munich takes on Viktoria Pilsen in the Champions League game with Ryan Gravenberch and Noussair Mazraoui in the starting lineup.
Compared to the 4-0 win against Bayer 04 Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, coach Julian Nagelsmann made four changes to the Munich team. In addition to the newcomers Gravenberch and Mazraoui, who came from Ajax Amsterdam, the national players Serge Gnabry and Leon Goretzka are also new to the team.
The German record champions have to compete in the Allianz Arena without the leaders Joshua Kimmich and Thomas Müller, who tested positive for Corona. Bayern had won the first two group games in Europe’s premier class against Inter Milan and FC Barcelona 2-0. The Czech champions from Pilsen lost twice.
