Champions League draw was Murphy's Law, says Bayern coach Nagelsmann

Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann was feeling confident after his side were drawn in the Champions League group stage alongside their former striker Robert Lewandowski's new club Barcelona and Italy powerhouse Inter Milan.

The three European heavyweights were drawn on Thursday in Group C along with Czech club Viktoria Plzen only weeks after Lewandowski, Bayern's second all-time top scorer, joined the La Liga club.

"I don't know if I grinned when it (draw) happened but it was a bit of Murphy's Law," Nagelsmann, referencing the popular adage that says anything that can go wrong will go wrong, told a news conference.
