1) Jackson to haunt former club
Football has an incredible habit of throwing up its own remarkable plotlines. While a will-he-or-won't-he saga culminated in attack talent Jackson arriving in Munich on an initial loan deal late on Transfer Deadline Day, the Champions League draw the previous week determined that his first European night in a Bayern jersey will come against his former employers, Chelsea.
The encounter will surprisingly be the 24-year-old Senegal international's first appearance in Europe's elite club competition. Three goals in a mere 170 minutes of action in the UEFA Conference League last season for the Blues leave no doubt that his ferocious finishing can make an impact on the continental stage - the third of those strikes being the goal that put Chelsea 2-1 up in the second half of the final against Real Betis in Wroclaw.
