FC Rostov vs. Bayern Munich live stream: Watch Champions League online
By James Dudko
FC Rostov face Bayern Munich in the Champions League at the Olimp-2 Arena on Wednesday. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
The match will be broadcast live on Fox Sports 1 at 12 pm ET. Streaming is also available at Fox Soccer 2Go.
Bayern find themselves needing to make up ground in the standings. The Bundesliga club trails Atletico Madrid by three points in Group D.
It’s an unusual position for the five-time Champions League winners. But losing out to Atleti at the Vicente Calderon on matchday two doesn’t diminish the quality of this squad.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti is also a master in this tournament. He’s won it three times with two clubs and knows how to get star players to work together.
Yet there are injury woes for Ancelotti. Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and winger Arjen Robben are the most notable likely absentees, per Alex Richards of the Daily Mirror. He also noted how Sven Ulreich will start ahead of Neuer.

Bayern’s midfield is also depleted, with Javi Martinez and Arturo Vidal set to miss out. Yet there’s still enough quality up top for Munich to earn three priceless points.
In particular, strikers Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Muller lead an awesome attack. Their power, pace and movement will be too much for a Rostov side that’s conceded 10 times in the group stage, including five in Munich.
