As he watches Lampard lead the training session, Ferdinand reluctantly wears a Blues coat but insisted it was only because he was so cold.
As he puts on the colours of his former rivals, Ferdinand says: “I ain’t signing for Chelsea, don’t worry. This means nothing for my allegiance and where it lies.
“This is only on because I’m cold! I feel like a scout.”
As Lampard spots Ferdinand in the Chelsea jacket, he jokes: “I always thought you looked good in blue!”
But Ferdinand replies: “It’s the first time I’ve worn a bit of blue material.
“I don’t usually get this kind of welcome when I’m at Stamford Bridge.”
Chelsea play Bayern in the Champions League for the first time since Lampard lifted the European trophy against them in 2012 after a memorable shootout against the German giants.
Lampard believes his young team will be at the start of another journey and it is up to them which path they take eight years on from their Champions League glory.
He said: “The underdog talk, for a game like this, is better to come from the outside.
“My job is just to prepare for the game and look at the opponent, see their strengths, see our strengths and ask can we find weaknesses there?
“I understand if people do call us the underdogs because Bayern Munich are so strong.

“When you look at their team, the talent they have, the medals they have, the experience they have, maybe we don’t have that experience.
“But these things are there to change. Being the underdog, it’s there to turn it around.
“Those are the best stories in sport. I don’t get too caught up in what we think before the game. I’m focused on what it will take to try to win these two matches.”
