Update from September 6, 8:30 p.m .:

After the "bitter" quarter-final defeat by FC Villarreal last season, captain Manuel Neuer is hoping for a longer top-class season for FC Bayern this time.

We have the incentive and the ambition to go far," said the 36-year-old international goalkeeper.

FC Bayern's Champions League opener: Bayern Munich make a guest appearance at Inter Milan on Wednesday

8:12 p.m .: That was it with the FC Bayern press conference in Milan.

Thank you for reading and we wish you a nice evening!

8:10 p.m .: Nagelsmann about opponents Inter Milan: “You have a very good coach, a very experienced team.

That's their quality.

Lukaku is injured but Dzeko came in against AC.

He also has a lot of experience.

I assume that they will always be deep and will give us little space.”

Julian Nagelsmann provides insight: Bayern coach talks about special Kahn moments in San Siro

8:08 p.m .: Nagelsmann on Bayern’s Champions League victory in 2001 in San Siro with today’s CEO Oliver Kahn in goal: “I still remember Oli’s poses when he held the crucial things.

I did it at his office.

I used to slide around from one side to the other on the sofa.

I shed a few tears against Manchester United, unlike my dad, who was a fan of another big German club that won a lot back then.

As I said, I can still remember Oli's poses very well."

8:06 p.m .: Nagelsmann about Lucas Hernández: “I would definitely extend him.

He's a very, very good guy.

Always in a good mood, always laughing.

He's very, very important on the pitch and in training.

He's just an extremely toxic defender who loves to defend.

He has a super diagonal ball, a good opening.

I wish there was even more of a goal threat if he brought in that power.

If he scores six or seven goals over the year, then he would have an even higher standing in Europe over the year.”

Rotation at FC Bayern?

Julian Nagelsmann explains "hard cases" in the Champions League

8:04 p.m .: Nagelsmann on rotation at Bayern: “If you see the rhythm of the last few days and the weeks to come, we will always change.

As soon as one hears that he is not playing, he switches to draft.

You can say whatever you want there.

That's why you have to explain it on the day of the game.

I told Thomas before the Union game that he wasn't coming out because of his performance, but because he's always played.

I don't know if the justification is of much use to him now.

You explain some cases of hardship in the hotel because they cannot be explained by performance.

But sometimes you can save yourself such a visit to the hotel room, which is not always met with understanding.”

8:01 p.m .: Nagelsmann on the line-up in Milan: “We have almost all players at the same level to be able to change in this three-day rhythm.

We have an exit with Lewy that leaves a gap where you need to find your new playstyle.

Changing too much is therefore difficult from the game structure.

We managed that quite well.

I'm clear on some positions for tomorrow, but not all."

7:58 p.m .: Nagelsmann on the Champions League start: “Hearing the anthem is always nice.

I've never been to San Siro as a coach.

Many historic games have already taken place here.

A good start is important for a good finish.

We're in rhythm.

Union was not a damper.

Basically, we did well and we're in good spirits.

We have a very interesting opponent and a very interesting group stage ahead of us."

Manuel Neuer explains Munich's attacking game: How Bayern wants to score against FC Internazionale

7:55 p.m .: That was it with Manuel Neuer, now Julian Nagelsmann is on the podium.

7:54 p.m .: Neuer on Inter Milan’s recent phase of weakness: “You can never say that before a game like this.

This is the start of the Champions League season.

It's a whole new atmosphere and a chance for Inter to start again.

We forget what happened and prepare for a good opponent."

7:52 p.m .: Neuer about the lack of a world-class center forward at Bayern: “It doesn’t annoy me.

I'm mainly concerned with defence, that's for sure.

In the penultimate game against Gladbach we created a lot of chances and had a bit of bad luck.

We didn't have that many chances to score against Union Berlin.

But we have a good goal difference in the Bundesliga.

We are variable and try to actively push the ball behind the line with several attackers up front.”

7:50 p.m .: Neuer on Leon Goretzka’s return: “It’s very good that he’s back.

That was a somewhat longer ordeal.

But now he's back and we're happy if he can support us again in the next games."

Manuel Neuer is reminiscent of Villarreal: Bayern want to progress in the Champions League

7.48 p.m .: Neuer about Bayern’s start in the premier class: “If you start badly, draw or something, we don’t want that to happen tomorrow.

They have their qualities, we definitely don't underestimate them.

We have to go into the game with the right attitude and show that we definitely want to go into the knockout phase.

That is our claim.

I think we're among the favourites.

It's always the usual suspects.

Of course, losing to Villarreal hurts recently.

That is why we have the ambition to go very far.”

7.46 p.m .: Neuer on Inter Milan: “We have a very strong group with good opponents.

That we can start in such a special stadium is something special for me too.

It doesn't matter which Milan team plays here, the mood among the fans is always great."

7.44 p.m .: It starts with Manuel Neuer and the PK!

FC Bayern at Inter Milan: How far will Munich get in this Champions League season?

Update from September 6, 6:30 p.m .:

The past two seasons in the Champions League have not gone according to FC Bayern’s idea.

But: when was the last stop for the Munich team?

An overview:

Press conference in the live ticker: Nagelsmann and Neuer talk about the CL start in Milan

First report from September 6th:

Munich/Milan – In the case of downright traumatic defeats in the recent club history of FC Bayern, the lost “final at home” in the Champions League is always remembered.

The favored German Bundesliga record champions lost 3:4 on penalties on May 19, 2012 in the Allianz Arena in Munich against Chelsea from London.

Ironically, local hero and fan favorite Bastian Schweinsteiger missed the decisive penalty.

But: Almost exactly two years earlier, Bayern had missed the handle pot in the last few meters.

Specifically: On May 22, 2010, they also lost the premier class final, this time in Madrid's Estadio Santiago Bernabéu 0-2 against Inter Milan.

Champions League: FC Bayern start at Inter Milan on Wednesday evening (9 p.m.).

So just against FC Internazionale, where Bayern also have to play this Wednesday (9 p.m., here in the live ticker).

And that away in the legendary San Siro at the start of the 2022/23 Champions League season.

Of course, this game should again be about the historic encounter in May 2010.

At that time, coach Julian Nagelsmann was still 22 years old - and U17 coach of Bavaria's city rival TSV 1860 Munich.

What memories does the 35-year-old from Upper Bavaria have of the defeat of his current employer?

What does he take from Inter's 3-2 draw in Milan's city derby against AC Milan at the weekend?

What conclusions does he draw from Bayern Munich's 1-1 draw at Union Berlin?
