Hello and welcome to live text commentary of Viktoria Plzen vs Bayern Munich in the Champions League. I'm Daniel Storey, here to guide you through the action.

Rafinha puts in a dangerous ball that Marian Cizovsky does well to volley clear.

Duris gets through on Neuer, but the keeper does enough. Offside flag up anyway.

Alaba takes it and curls it beautifully towards goal. Kozacik sees it all the way but it's still a good save.

Philipp Lahm is fouled 25 yards from goal and Bayern will have a chance to test the goakeeper.

Muller is caught offside as Bayern begin to dominate possession after their hosts' bright start.

Plzen lose the ball in midfield, and from the edge of the box Muller hits it straight at Kozacik.

After the corner is cleared, Ribery crosses from the right but it is collected by Matus Kozacik with ease.

Bayern relieve the (admittedly slight) danger with a free kick, from which Gotze wins a corner.

First shot of the night, and Manuel Neuer is forced to make a comfortable save from Michel Duris.

A promising start from the home side, yet to be tested in defence and on the front foot early on.

Tecl was held as he entered the box, but did go down easily. Not sure Contento could have argued with a penalty, however.

Huge penalty shout for Plzen as Stanislav Tecl goes down. Nothing given against Diego Contento.

Plzen attack down the right and Frantisek Rajtoral crosses the ball, which drifts over. Applauded by the crowd.

Bayern passing it around defence, their away support loud in voice.

And we are underway in the Doosan Arena., Bayern in white, the home side in red...

They may have only managed only six shots on target in three games, fewer than any other side this season, but let's have some positivity with five minutes until kick off. Plzen will be aiming to channel the ghost of December 2011, when late goals gave them a 2-2 draw against Milan as they finished third in the group behind the Italians and Barcelona. Can they repeat that? Erm... maybe.

And now Bayern's man in charge, Pep Guardiola: "There is always something to improve. Even in the games we win we still wish to get better. We have been at the summit, won everything but it means we have to work harder to keep our position." I think you'd say that those words are ominous for Plzen.

Who wants some words from the managers? Good. First up is Viktoria Plzen manager Pavel Vrba: "We would like to change virtually everything about our performance in Munich, but the question is whether or not we have the quality to do it. Just remember the score Bayern recorded last season against Barcelona. We are going to try to do as much as possible to make it harder for them." Fairly honest stuff.

Time for me to introduce the stadium for you - setting the scene if you will. Bayen have travelled to the Doosan Arena, a stadium that attracted just 9,180 people for a league this weekend. It only holds 11,700. As a comparison, Bayern had 71,000 at their last home game.

So, any thought that Bayern would take things rather lightly here have vanished pretty quickly. It's an incredibly strong side - Lahm, Muller, Ribery, Gotze and Schweinsteiger.
