History beckons for Bayern Munich who will welcome Inter Milan to the Allianz Stadium for their final group game of the 2022-2023 UEFA Champions League campaign. The Bavarians are on the verge of becoming the first club in the history of the competition to win all group games in successive seasons and the first to achieve the feat in three different editions of the competition.
A strong showing in the Bundesliga club's first five outings has already secured them a place in the knockout stage of the competition. Regardless of the outcome of Tuesday night's affair, a top-spot finish is guaranteed for Julen Nagelsmann's team. It has been another remarkable spell for Bayern as they will approach the upcoming encounter on the back of a nine-game unbeaten run.
Since being defeated 1-0 by Augsburg in mid-September, they have gone on to amass eight wins and a draw in all competitions. In the Champions League, they have won their last three games, scoring 12 times and conceding just twice. The Germans have also kept cleansheets in two instances.
Bayern's trip to San Siro in the first game of the Champions League group stage round ended in a 2-0 win and, by virtue of their form, they are expected to get another one over the Italians. Needless to say, the Nerazzurri are equally motivated to ruin the party for the Germans in their pursuit of a new record in the competition.
Simeone Inzaghi's side have successfully gone on a seven game unbeaten run in recent weeks, regaining some of the lost ground caused by their slow start to the season. In Serie A, they defeated Sampdoria 3-0 over the course of the weekend, with goals from De Vrij, Nicolo Barella, and Hakan Calhanoglu.
In the Champions League, they have won three of their last four in the competition, while a 3-3 draw at Barcelona on October 12 ultimately propelled them to the next round of the competition. Victory over Bayern will well serve across an important statement for Inter as they slowly regain their lost momentum.
