Tottenham Hotspur vs. Bayern Munich: Champions League game time, TV channels, how to watch online

These are the matches that are circled on the calendar. Tottenham Hotspur was always likely to draw one of the European giants in the Champions League Group Stage, and after besting Real Madrid two years ago and vitally earning a point against Barcelona during the last match day of the 2018 campaign, this year’s tournament sees German powerhouse Bayern Munich travel to North London.

Bayern is currently first in the Bundesliga table, a very familiar position for the side; last year was its seventh straight title in the top German flight. This season has started with an undefeated record, including a 3-0 win against Red Star during the first round of Champions League matches, giving way to an early lead atop Group B.

A loss on Tuesday does not doom Tottenham’s chances of advancing, but even one point would go a long way, especially after drawing against Olympiacos in Greece. Last year’s wild turnaround showed that anything is possible, but getting results from the first two matches is largely preferable to digging out of a massive hole yet again.

Spurs’ 10-man victory against Southampton over the weekend was a positive sign, although the 2019 season has yet to show consecutive solid performances. Facing Bayern is no easy task, but as in virtually every match, this Tottenham squad is more than capable of securing all three points. It will not be easy — however, this is exactly what teams play for when they compete in the Champions League.
