SHORT CORNER

Bayern players stun Bon Jovi with pregame antics

Bayern Munich's 3-0 Champions League last 16 first leg victory over Chelsea on Tuesday made an impression on US rock star Jon Bon Jovi for the relaxed way the German side prepared for the game.

The 57-year-old told radio station Talk Sport on Wednesday he had been in his hotel bar on Monday as had the Bayern players.

"I was minding my own business in the bar," Bon Jovi said. "And the team were in there the night before last [Monday] and how they, on the power of whisky and beer, overpowered Chelsea last night doesn't say much for Chelsea's drinking habits either."

"The Bayern guys were certainly sipping and having a good ol' time -- and they went and shellacked Chelsea," said Jovi.
