What Bayern Munich fans have been saying about Chelsea Champions League draw

Memories of the 2012 Champions League final came to the fore when the draw for this season's round of 16 was made.

Chelsea were paired with German giants Bayern Munich when the draw was made in Nyon, Switzerland on Monday morning.

And the last time the two sides met in Europe's elite competition was that final in 2012, when the Blues beat the Germans in their own backyard to lift the trophy for the first time.

It was one of a number of mouthwatering last 16 ties to be drawn, with Manchester City taking on Real Madrid and Liverpool facing off against Atletico Madrid too.

For Blues supporters though, the chance to go back to the Allianz Arena and knock off the German side once more gets the juices flowing.

Bayern supporters though, are equally looking forward to the two-legged contest.

Discussing the draw on Bayern's Reddit page, braniac22 said: "Decent draw. I'm very optimistic, especially if Coutinho & Lewy keep up their form and Lucas is back."

ForgedTanto meanwhile was in very optimistic mood. They said: "We should absolutely tear them apart. However, with the way our defense (sic) currently is, we are definitely going to concede a goal or two.

"I'm pretty certain we make it through, however I aint gonna call it for us just yet."

Rojokobe looked back to that fateful night in 2012 in saying: "Thank god we can get our retribution for 2012 and the drama in January. I hate to say it, but I highly dislike how the prem fan boys behave and we should wipe them out to make a point!"

User phifson went on to say: "I watch Chelsea a lot And i believe we should quite easily beat them if they don't strengthen their squad during the winter window."

Wifipoem said: "Good draw for us. Chelsea are pretty weak. Even though we aren't exactly setting the world on fire, I think we should still win comfortably."

And rWtpt said: "I’m pretty confident that we will destroy them, London is red."
