UCL Draws: What happened the last time Manchester United played Bayern Munich in the Champions League
Manchester United have been drawn in Group A of the 2023/24 UEFA Champions League along with Bayern Munich but how did it go when these two teams last collided almost a decade ago?
The Cityzens carted away Europe’s biggest prize last season as part of a glorious treble, which also included Premier League and FA Cup triumphs.
Now they have been tipped to go all the way again by Opta’s supercomputer, which has given them a 98.8% chance to qualify from the group stage and also considered them odds on at 50.3% to at least reach the final.

According to Opta, the likelihood of Manchester City winning the 2023/24 UEFA Champions League stands at 36.1%, more than three times the next-best team, Bayern Munich.
The Bavarians were given a 10.2% chance of becoming European Champions for the first time since 2020, slightly higher than Arsenal’s 7% chance of winning the trophy for the first time in the club’s history.
Arsenal favoured ahead of Barcelona, Real Madrid, PSG
The Gunners' incredible placement as the third most likely team to win the Champions League this season, comes on the back of their relatively straightforward group, which also contains Sevilla, PSV Eindhoven, and RC Lens.
)
It is also a testament to Arsenal’s valiant effort to stop Manchester City from winning the Premier League last season, as well as stellar transfer business, that they are considered more likely than UCL giants Real Madrid and Barcelona to win the UCL.
While Real Madrid are only one place behind Arsenal in fourth, Barcelona are way down in 10th, with only a 0.3% chance separating them from England’s least likely representative to win the tournament, Newcastle.
