Very even match. Bayern ultra disciplined defensively and didn’t really give us any lapses to take advantage of. I thought we didn’t keep the ball well in the final third, looking to pull the trigger a little too early at times and wasting 1 or 2 chances. Could learn a thing or 2 from the patience displayed by Bayern’s midfielders.
Conversely at the other end, a clean sheet with our 4th and 5th choice CBs successfully keeping Lewandowski quiet is a big win, a score draw now sufficient for us in the return leg, which should be a more open affair as these 2nd legs often are. Going by what I’ve heard of Bayern’s record this season defending against sides who transition quickly, with any luck that may work more in our favour than theirs.
Henderson our best player, has turned in a few strong performances against quality opposition this season.
