Bayern have 'no fear' over Champions League draw

Bayern Munich midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger says the Bavarian giants have nothing to fear on Friday when they learn who they will face in the Champions League play-off. "Whichever opponent we draw out of the pot will take a deeper swallow than us," joked Germany star Schweinsteiger, Bayern's vice-captain, after his side reached the 2010 Champions League final. The draw for the Champions League play-offs takes place at UEFA's headquarters in Nyon on Friday at 1200 local time (1100 BST) and there are some big names set to go into the pot. They include Premier League giants Arsenal, French side Lyon, Italy's Udinese and Spain's Villarreal. Bayern must win the two-legged play-off, which takes place on August 16/17 and 23/24 to be sure of their place in the main competition when the group stages begin on September 13.
