FC Bayern MĂźnchen welcome Juventus to Bavaria for the second leg of their UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie.

• Bayern looked well set to cruise into the quarter-finals when Thomas Müller and Arjen Robben struck either side of half-time in Turin, but first UEFA Champions League goals from Paulo Dybala and Stefano Sturaro brought Juve level and extended their unbeaten home European record to 17 matches, since Bayern's last vist in 2013.

• Twice champions of Europe, Juventus were runners-up last season, while Bayern won the last of their five titles in 2013 and were semi-finalists in 2014 and 2015.

• This fixture will take Juve's Mario Mandžukić back to the city where he played for two seasons, while also providing a reunion for Bayern pair Arturo Vidal and Kingsley Coman with their former Bianconeri team-mates.

Previous meetings
• Bayern earned 2-0 home and away wins over Antonio Conte's Juventus in the 2012/13 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.

• After a 2-0 first-leg victory in Munich, courtesy of goals by David Alaba and Müller, Bayern became the first foreign team to win at the new Juventus Stadium when Mandžukić and Claudio Pizarro struck in the second leg for Jupp Heynckes' side, who went on to win the competition.

• The lineups in Munich on 2 April 2013 were:
Bayern: Neuer, Lahm, Van Buyten, Dante, Alaba, Schweinsteiger, Luiz Gustavo, Müller, Kroos (Robben 16), Ribéry (Shaqiri 90+3), Mandžukić (Gomez 90+1).
Juventus: Buffon, Barzagli, Bonucci, Chiellini, Lichtsteiner, Vidal, Pirlo, Marchisio, Peluso (Pogba 75), Matri (Vučinić 65), Quagliarella (Giovinco 65).

Goalkeeper Hans-Jörg Butt (penalty), Ivica Olić, Mario Gomez and Anatoliy Tymoshchuk struck to secure a win that carried the Bavarian club into the last 16 at Juve's expense.

• Gianluigi Buffon and Claudio Marchisio played for Juventus in that 2009 encounter in Turin; Philipp Lahm, Holger Badstuber, Thomas Müller and substitute Arjen Robben represented Bayern.
