Bayern Munich are Group E favourites in the Champions League this year, in addition to being among the frontrunners to win the competition.
The Bundesliga champions have been handed an ostensibly favourable draw, considering two of their group stage opponents - Ajax and AEK Athens - missed out on the tournament last season. Portugal's Benfica are the other team in the group.
Bayern made it to the semi-finals of the tournament before crashing out against eventual winners Real Madrid and will be looking to claim their first Champions League trophy since their 2013 triumph over Borussia Dortmund.
