The German champion failed on the continental stage three seasons in a row under Pep Guardiola but have not worked out the away-day blues.

The Catalan won a lot at Bayern Munich but could not help the German record title holder hit the heights in the Champions League. He presided over three disappointing campaigns, each of which ended at the semifinal stage against Spanish opponents.
Carlo Ancelotti then was supposed to the breath of fresh air that made Bayern go the extra step. The club was swapping a league specialist for a European one and matchday two against Atletico Madrid in the Vicente Calderon was an interesting first away day assignment.
