FC Bayern’s Champions League campaign gets underway on Tuesday evening as Vincent Kompany’s side face Atalanta Bergamo away in the first leg of the round of 16 and will be looking to put themselves in a good position for the second leg in Munich

Munich qualified directly for the round of 16 thanks to a strong league phase and therefore did not have to take the detour via the play-offs. Atalanta, on the other hand, beat Borussia Dortmund spectacularly in the intermediate round and are therefore one of the most unpleasant opponents in the competition

For the German record champions, the aim now is to take the first step towards the quarter-finals in Italy

The task in northern Italy should be anything but easy for Vincent Kompany’s team. Atalanta have made a name for themselves as an unpleasant opponent in recent years and have already proven against Borussia Dortmund that they can also hold their own against German clubs

Nevertheless, Munich go into the clash with a great deal of confidence. FC Bayern were extremely stable in the league phase of the Champions League and progressed to the knockout round in second place

With a positive result at the New Balance Stadium – Atalanta’s home ground – Bayern will be looking to secure a good starting position for the second leg at the Allianz Arena
