When is bayern munich vs chelsea 2017

Morata took a Moses pass and turned it into a corner, which Cesc took as usual. His delivery flicked off Morata at the front post, right to Batshuayi in the center of the six-yard box who slotted home for his team-leading fifth of the pre-season. Alas, a third goal was not on the cards. Morata assist, Michy Batshuayi goal.

CFC pic. Despite the result and the obvious poor individual and collective performances in the first 30 minutes, there are a few positive takeaways. There were a couple standout performances, even, especially in the second half, with Gary Cahill making a wonderful block in the box on a James shot and David Luiz showing just why Andreas Christensen has his work cut out for him this season to stake a spot in the starting lineup.

Bayern still created a decent amount of good chances especially for James to take , but Chelsea looked much more active and much more like Chelsea of last season in the second half. Both are useful learnings for the season ahead. Next up will be the last pre-season match for Chelsea, against Inter Milan on Saturday.

That left the German side needing three goals in the final half an hour and they found two, through Gemma Davison's own goal and Lucie Vonkova's tap-in. But Chelsea survived a late rally to edge through and into the last Bayern thought they had snatched the tie deep in stoppage time when Simone Laudehr tucked in Melanie Behringer's deep free-kick, but it was disallowed for a shove in the box.

Progression for Chelsea will go down as one of the finest results for a British women's side in Europe, overcoming one of the highest-rated teams in this year's competition. Of 12 previous knockout meetings between British and German women's clubs in Uefa competitions, 11 had ended with the German outfit going through. And Emma Hayes' improving Chelsea, who are competing in Europe for a third consecutive season, had been eliminated by German opposition in Wolfsburg in each of the past two campaigns.

Bayern, who reached the quarter-finals in Europe last term, should have scored early in the second leg but Germany striker Mandy Islacker tucked over from close range.

Chelsea then edged the remainder of the first half but their away goal came against the run of play in the second when Kirby raced clear and drilled in to the top corner. Things got nervy for the English side when Davison diverted a Bayern corner into her own net and then Vonkova netted after Chelsea keeper Hedvig Lindahl uncharacteristically spilled the ball at her feet.

But the hosts were frustrated by crucial blocks from England defender Millie Bright and Laudehr's late disallowed goal, and there were tears from Bayern's players after the final whistle brought an end to an exhausting tie.

Now managed by the cuddly set of eyebrows known as Carlo Ancelotti, Bayern are looking to continue their domination of the domestic game by making smart moves in the transfer market, signing the likes of Corentin Tolisso, Nicklas Sule, Kingsley Coman, and James Rodriguez on loan!

That said, the double retirement of Philipp Lahm and Xabi Alonso have left massive voids to fill. Bayern are coming off a draw against Arsenal and a surprisingly poor loss to AC Milan, two results that have left fans questioning whether these pre-season marketing tours are really worth the trouble and effort and the coaching staff altering plans to rest their already weary players.
