Champions League round-up: Both aspects of the Champions League are on show tonight as Bayern Munich take on Juventus in a clash of the titans while Swiss upstarts Thun continue their amazing adventures with a trip to a disappointing Ajax Amsterdam in Group B tonight.
Ten years ago Ajax were champions of Europe while Thun were an amateur side playing in the Swiss third division. However, they meet on level terms in the Amsterdam Arena with the Swiss side enjoying life at the top.
They lost only to an injury-time goal at Arsenal on their Champions League debut before beating Sparta Prague last time out, while Ajax have just one point from a draw in Prague and are struggling in the Dutch league.
"It's hard to make direct comparisons between Ajax and Sparta Prague, but I do believe that if we perform at our best we can come away with at least a point," said Thun coach Urs Schoenenberger.
Thun warmed up at the weekend with a 5-1 win over St Gallen but Ajax's y struggled to a goalless home draw with Heracles Almelo.
Rapid Vienna host Club Bruges in the group's other game.
In Group C, Barcelona travel to Panathinaikos in Greece expecting to make it three wins out of three.
Panathinaikos have never lost at home to a Spanish club in eight previous encounters. Four of the last five Spanish visitors, including Barcelona, failed to score.
Barcelona have lost four of their last six European away games though they beat Werder Bremen 2-0 this season.Bremen visit Udinese in the group's other game.
