Bayern’s win at Chelsea fuelled by whisky and beer, claims Bon Jovi

The American rock star claims he bumped into the German squad enjoying a few drinks the night before the clash at Stamford Bridge

Rocker Jon Bon Jovi has claimed that Bayern Munich’s 3-0 Champions League win over Chelsea on Tuesday was fuelled by a drinking session on whisky and beer the evening beforehand.

The musician, best known for the hit song ‘Livin’ On a Prayer’, says that he bumped into the Bayern squad the night before the game in the hotel bar and found the Bundesliga leaders drinking.

That did not stop the German champions outclassing Frank Lampard’s side comprehensively, as two goals from Serge Gnabry and a further strike from Robert Lewandowski gave them a healthy first-leg advantage to carry back to Bavaria when the sides meet again on March 18.
