Bayern Munich’s star-studded roster returned from international break and ran into an organized and efficient Augsburg side. Bayern came from behind twice to bring the match level but had to settle for a draw, extending the undefeated streak in the Bundesliga. Bayern returns to Champions League against another Norwegian side, Viking.

Viking uses a dual manager system, splitting head coaching duties between Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim and Morten Jensen. The unique setup led Viking to their first Norwegian title in 34 years. In their first Champions League match since 1992, Viking fell to Stuttgart 3-1.
