UEFA Youth League Draw

When the UEFA Champions League Draw happened this week, Bayern’s U-19 team found out their UEFA Youth League opponents. Since Barcelona, Benfica, and Dynamo Kyiv are all participating in the Youth League this season, that’s who Bayern will face since they were drawn in the same Champions League group.

U-19 head coach Danny Galm said the following about the draw:

“With Barcelona, Lisbon and Kiev, we have three very attractive opponents. It’s a very interesting competition. It will be extremely exciting to compete against FC Barcelona from La Masia. With Benfica we meet a club that is a top address in youth football and where more attractive football is played year after year. And Dynamo Kiev also proves that they train strong talents again and again. There are three great opponents.”
