Inter Milan will host Bayern Munich at San Siro in what will be the most standout fixture from the 2022/23 Champions League Matchday One.
Inter Milan had managed to make advance to the knockout stages of the competition for the first time in a decade last season before they were send packing by eventual runner-up Liverpool.
They will be hoping to go through to the knockout stages of the Champions League again this season, but they will have a difficult task qualifying from what has been billed as a potential ‘group of death’, where they will come up against Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Viktoria Plzen.
Simone Inzaghi’s suffered a 3-2 league defeat to their local rivals AC Milan and have much to amend for before hosting Germany powerhouses Bayern Munich.
Bayern meanwhile have exited the Champions League at the quarter-final stage in each of the last two seasons following their 2019-20 triumph.
They will be looking to go all the way to the final this time around, but they have to go through the ‘group of dead’ first. Julian Nagelsmann’s men have not quite been there all-conquering selves this season, but they boast a much better form than their Wednesday’s host as they have not lost in their last seven matches, picking up five wins in the run, and they will want to extend the momentum.
