Poles Apart
The best number 9 in the world this season is Robert Lewandowksi who is averaging well over a goal a game for the German champions who were devastating in the group stages.
Back in September we backed Chelsea as an each-way long shot at best odds of 50/1 - which I stand by as a value proposition - but they needed a kind draw, which they certainly didn’t get here.
With that in mind we can hedge our bet by backing Bayern Munich to win in London with Robert Lewandowski to score at 6/4 with PaddyPower.
The German titans recorded the best ever group stage performance in the history of the competition before Christmas, winning all six matches with a combined goal difference of +19.
Their Polish superstar is enjoying a career season with a staggering 38 goals in 32 club appearances in 2019-20 so far, including 10 in this competition.
The 31-year-old isn’t slowing down after bagging 8 in his last 7 domestically.
The Blues had a good result at the weekend but overall they struggle for consistency and this is a significant step up in class.
