If you’ve not been to the iconic Munich ground before or you’re keen to go back, this could be the perfect opportunity. There’s nothing quite like these atmospheric midweek European nights when two of the best sides on the continent collide and you could get your hands on tickets.
For many Bayern Munich fans, it seems that their side is destined to go all the way in Europe this time around. With Bayern’s home ground, the Allianz Arena, hosting the Champions League Final this season, it would be a dream come true if they are lifting the trophy aloft at the Munich venue on May 31. With seven other highly-talented European outfits still in the hunt for glory though, Vincent Kompany knows he’s going to have to keep his side laser-focused over the coming weeks.
Getty ImagesBayern have a lot to prove following a disappointing season by their high standards. Despite reaching the Champions League semis for the first time in four seasons, they failed to clinch the Bundesliga crown for the first time since the 2011-12 campaign, eventually finishing third, 18pts behind champions Bayer Leverkusen. It’s gearing up to be a better season for Bayern this time around under Kompany’s guidance. Die Roten may have bowed out during the pre-Christmas stages of the DFB-Pokal once again, but they are looking in a good position to regain the German title.
Bayern faces an Inter Milan team that is full of experience, as proven by their starting line-up in one of the group stage matches, which was the oldest of any team in the Champions League this season, at an average age of 31 years. It seems to be paying off too, as the Nerazzurri are still going great guns on all fronts. They remain on course to win back-to-back Serie A titles for the first time in 15 years and have reached the semis of the Coppa Italia.
Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to be part of the Champions League party. Let GOAL take you through all the vital information you need to know for the upcoming Bayern Munich vs Inter Milan match, including where you can buy tickets, how much they will cost and much more.

How did Bayern Munich and Inter Milan qualify for the Champions League Round of 16?
Getty ImagesBayern Munich kicked off their 8-game Champions League group phase with an ominous 9-2 drubbing of Dinamo Zagreb in Munich. However, Kompany’s men failed to build on that start and suffered back-to-back away defeats against Aston Villa and Barcelona. Despite winning four of their five remaining group matches, another road trip defeat against Feyenoord in January, saw Bayern finish out of the top-8 (12th) and meant they had to take part in the last 32 rounds of the knockouts. Munich came out on top, 3-2 on aggregate, after a hard-fought two-legged tussle with Celtic, which set up a mouthwatering all-German last-16 battle with Bayer Leverkusen. Bayern dominated both feisty clashes, winning 3-0 at home and 2-0 away to clinch their quarter-final berth.
Inter Milan’s defence was highly impressive throughout the league phase of the competition. They started with a goalless draw on their Champions League travels against Man City and then won four matches on the bounce without conceding a single goal either. Their sole league loss was a 1-0 defeat against Leverkusen in Germany and that would be the only goal scored against them, as they finished 4th in the standings and progressed straight to the last-16 stage of the knockouts. Unlike Bayern, Inter had no difficulty in turning over Feyenoord, winning both legs of their tie and securing a 4-1 aggregate success.
