Lokomotiv Moscow striker Fyodor Smolov looked in good spirits on the eve of his side's clash against Champions League title-holders Bayern Munich.

The Russian champions battled back to draw 2-2 at Red Bull Salzburg last week in their Group A opener.

Eder put Lokomotiv ahead in Austria, only for Dominik Szoboszlai to crash in a brilliant equaliser.

A deflected Zlatko Junuzovic goal put the hosts in front, but Vitali Lisakovich headed in to earn the Marko Nikolic's side a point.

Bayern, who beat Paris Saint-Germain in last season's final to win a sixth European Cup, began their title defence with a comprehensive 4-0 victory over Atletico Madrid.
