Here are all the vital Bayern Munich statistics you will want to know ahead of the Champions League final at the Allianz arena on Saturday evening.

Bayern Munich and Chelsea have met on two occasions so far in the Champions League. In the quarter-finals of the 2004/05 season, the Blues made it to the semi-finals by winning 4-2 at Stamford Bridge before losing 2-3 at the Olympic Stadion.

Bayern have won four and lost four of their eight European Cup/Champions League finals.
