WHAT IS THE AUDI CUP?

The Audi Cup is a biennial pre-season tournament hosted by Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena. The 2017 edition will be the fifth tournament, with Bayern having won three of the previous four.

Three other top clubs from around the world are invited to participate, but only Barcelona have taken the trophy off of the hosts. Manchester United, Manchester City and Real Madrid have all finished second in years gone by.

Liverpool, Atletico Madrid and Napoli will complete this year's lineup.

Liverpool and Atleti's participation was announced at a rather bizarre press conference - pictured above - which saw the real-life Carlo Ancelotti sit on a panel with holograms of Jurgen Klopp and Diego Simeone, who were projected in from Merseyside and Madrid.

AUDI CUP TEAMS

---

It is likely that the Italian team would have been Milan - who have played at all four Audi Cups so far - but they are playing in the third-qualifying round of the Europa League and were therefore ruled out of this year's tournament.

As a result, Napoli have stepped in to represent Serie A and fill the fourth spot and will take on Atleti in the semi-finals, with Bayern facing Liverpool.

Bayern are looking to win their fourth Audi Cup and their third in a row, having defeated Real Madrid in the 2015 final. Both Liverpool and Atletico, meanwhile, are making their first appearance.
