It was the first contest between the sides on the European stage and the first time Bayern had met opponents from Croatia.

Bayern • Bayern scored eight goals with no reply in their first two Group F fixtures, winning 3-0 at Olympiacos on matchday one. • They followed their defeat of Dinamo with a 2-0 defeat at Arsenal before beating the London team 5-1 at home. Their 4-0 win over Olympiacos on 23 November secured their status as group winners and took their goal tally to 17 in the five games. • The German title holders, who are in their 19th group stage campaign, reached the UEFA Champions League semi- finals for the fourth time in a row last term, going out against FC Barcelona (0-3 away, 3-2 home). • Josep Guardiola's charges have lost four of their last six away games in the competition, drawing one.
