Chelsea will have advantage over Bayern Munich in Champions League second leg, warns Goretzka

Chelsea will have an advantage in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie with Bayern Munich, according to Leon Goretzka.

Bayern hold a commanding 3-0 lead following an impressive victory at Stamford Bridge in February, but they will not have played a competitive game in over a month when they take on the Blues at the Allianz Arena on August 8.

Chelsea, meanwhile, will conclude their Premier League campaign on July 26 and contest the FA Cup final on August 1 if they defeat Manchester United in their semi-final at Wembley on Sunday.
