Bayern München were handed a tough draw for the Champions League in Istanbul tonight, having been grouped with FC Barcelona, Inter and Viktoria Plzen.

In a statement posted on the club's website, Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann reflects on the draw.

"It's a very demanding group full of challenges," Nagelsmann admitted.

"Inter have reinforced themselves well. It's a club that has already celebrated many international successes and has been reinvigorated in recent years.

With Barcelona, of course, the narrative with Lewy was already preordained. I hope that we can achieve similar results to those against Barça in recent years.

"Plzen were Czech champions ahead of the Prague clubs, that means something. We'll have to be fully committed from the start. We're looking forward to that."
