Tough but manageable Champions League group
Bayern have been drawn in a tough but manageable Champions League group F with Olympique Lyon, Steaua Bucharest and Fiorentina.
Serial French champions Lyon pose the biggest threat to Munich's progress, although the German champions will be happy enough to have avoided the likes of Manchetser United, Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid, all potential opponents at this stage of the competition.
Steaua are previous winners of the European Champions Cup, while the meetings with the men from Florence have huge emotional significance for striker Luca Toni, who switched from the Italian Serie A giants to Bayern a year ago.
