Bayern Munich will expect to finish the job against Chelsea in the Champions League last 16, second leg.

The German giants are 3-0 up from the first leg, with those away goals and the big scoreline putting Hansi Flick’s side in a great position to progress.

Chelsea had the high of qualifying for next season’s Champions League last month, but then also the low of losing the FA Cup final.

The winners here will face Napoli or Barcelona in the last eight.
