Milan (dpa / lby) - FC Bayern Munich wants to set an exclamation mark on the international football floor right at the start of the Champions League group phase. "I think we're very ready. We have to perform," said coach Julian Nagelsmann before the first test at Inter Milan today (9 p.m. / DAZN).
While the Italians star striker Romelu Lukaku is injured, the Bavarians have plenty to draw from. The recently injured attacker Mathys Tel was in the final training and could make his debut in the premier class. Veteran Thomas Müller, like defender Lucas Hernández, is expected to be back in the starting XI.
With their top purchases Sadio Mané and Matthijs de Ligt, Munich have to deliver after the disturbing quarter-finals last year. In the demanding Group C, Inter are expected to be joined by the supposedly weaker Viktoria Pilsen and FC Barcelona with former Munich striker Robert Lewandowski.
