When Jose Mourinho first rocked up at Stamford Bridge, Heidenheim were still playing in amateur leagues in Germany. Two decades later, they meet at the 15,000-capacity Voith-Arena in the same competition.
Chelsea fans may be wondering if another 8-0 thumping is on offer, after Noah were humbled at Stamford Bridge last time out, but Heidenheim and Frank Schmidt, who has been manager since 2007, pose a bigger threat.
