LIVE TRACKER ON WEDNESDAY

8:41 p.m. – FINAL WHISTLE

8:17 p.m. – The FC Bayern Munich players arrived at the stadium and immediately got acquainted with the local pitch.

8:02 p.m. – RB Leipzig with a courageous starting eleven against Liverpool FC. The Saxons are starting from the beginning with Openda and Sesko. New signing Vermeeren starts in defensive midfield.

7:58 p.m. – Coach Vincent Kompany is relying on newcomer Joao Palhinha from the start for the second time this season in FC Bayern's Champions League clash against FC Barcelona (9 p.m./DAZN). The Portuguese replaced the injured Aleksandar Pavlovic. The recovered Jamal Musiala initially sits on the bench when Munich reunites with former coach Hansi Flick.

Instead of the 21-year-old, who recently had to take a break due to hip problems, veteran Thomas Müller will once again start in the offensive line. Accordingly, with the exception of Palhinha, Kompany trusts exactly the team that defeated VfB Stuttgart 4-0 last Saturday.

Captain Manuel Neuer is in goal. In front of him, Min-Jae defends Kim and Dayot Upamecano in the center and Raphael Guerreiro and Alphonso Davies in the wing positions. Joshua Kimmich forms the double six together with Palhinha.

7:48 p.m. – KICK-OFF – The ball is rolling again. Bayer Leverkusen just needs to continue the performance of the first half. Then renewed leadership should only be a matter of time. In Italy, too, there is a strong feeling that the superior team from Bergamo will score soon.

7:45 p.m. – In just over an hour we'll get the next treat between FC Bayern Munich and FC Barcelona in the Champions League. The fans of the German record champions have been in a good mood since the afternoon in view of the duel with former coach Hansi Flick's team.

7:33 p.m. – HALFTIME – Bayer Leverkusen presented themselves very convincingly in Brittany. For much of the first half, the German champions controlled the game and created scoring opportunities. Consequently, Florian Wirtz scored the Werkself's important lead in the 24th minute with his third goal in their third Champions League game. Stade Brest rarely appeared in the first half of the game. In the 39th minute, Pierre Lees-Melou scored the surprising equalizer with a fantastic volley from the edge of the penalty area. The stadium is now behind the French team. Leverkusen will have to be patient in the second half, but should normally get the three points here.

In the parallel game, Bergamo dominated their Scottish rivals from Glasgow. The only thing Atalanta is missing so far is the goal. Mario Pasalic had the best chance in the 18th minute. But his header only landed on the aluminum.

All information about Brest vs Leverkusen – kick-off 6:45 p.m

At the weekend there was a success against Frankfurt, in the last CL appearance they won against Milan, things are going well again for Leverkusen – will Brest now become a stumbling block? The French are surprisingly high after winning their first two CL appearances.

Bayer is also high up and has so far kept its clean slate in the premier class – could they do that for the third game in a row? It will be an exciting match for Martin Terrier. The Frenchman doesn't have any good memories of Brest so far: “I know the stadium and have played here several times,” says the attacker, “but haven’t scored a goal yet. I hope it doesn’t continue like this.”

Flashscore spoke to Didi Hamann in advance. The Sky expert is convinced of FC Bayern this season: “Bayern started the season very well, even though they lost to Aston Villa. Bayern are playing for all the trophies at the moment.” He also has his back for the coach: “Despite some injuries, I see no reason why Bayern cannot win the national cups and the Champions League with Vincent Kompany.”
