Bayern Munich meets Chelsea on Friday in the UEFA Super Cup. The match starts at 2:45 p.m. ET. Watch the live stream HERE or Fox's stream HERE.
One storyline for football fans is the meeting of bosses Jose Mourinho of Chelsea and Pep Guardiola of Bayern Munich, both of whom shared a heated rivalry in Spain when they managed Real Madrid and Barcelona. The pair last met in 2012, when Mourinho's Real Madrid defeated Guardiola's Barcelona for the La Liga title, IBTimes reports.
Despite the tense history, Guardiola insists the rivalry will take second to the action on the field.
"We're here for the players, not the coaches," Guardiola told BBC. "Millions of people around the world will watch the game, not the coaches.
"I have a great respect for (Mourinho), but on Friday I will try to win and so will he too. He is always very, very good with quick counter attacks. He is a master at that and everybody knows he is an excellent, excellent coach."
As for the current clubs, Friday's Super Cup creates a rematch of the 2012 Champions League final, where Chelsea defeated Bayern Munich on penalties, 4-3.
For Bayern Munich, Thiago Alcantara (ankle) and Holger Badstuber (knee) are out; Bastian Schweinsteiger and Javi Martinez are doubtful.
Chelsea is without David Luiz (hamstring).
