Two weeks ago, Bayern Munich and Roma met as the top two teams in Champions League Group E. The result at the Stadio Olimpico proved that although Nos. 1 and 2, miles stand between the pair in terms of class. The two will meet again in Munich on Wednesday, with the match no longer anticipated to be such a hotly-contested fixture.
Bayern utterly obliterated Rudi Garcia's side in Rome, humiliating their hosts with a 7-1 victory. The score stood 5-0 after 36 minutes, a complete blitz by the German champions.
Now after three matchdays, Bayern lead their group with a perfect nine points and a +8 goal difference. They enjoy a five-point lead over Roma and seven-point advantage over Manchester City. CSKA Moscow cannot catch the Bavarian giants, who would clinch first place in their group with a win and secure progression to the knockout rounds in any case with a draw in their next match. But Roma could well give their hosts a scare and spoil their party.
