00:00Well, today we're set to witness a match-up that all football fans will truly relish.
00:05The stakes are high and the excitement undeniable.
00:10So the rain's still coming down heavily here.
00:13Hopefully you're staying dry at home.
00:15I'm Guy Mowbray, joined for commentary by Stuart Robson.
00:18And everything is set up nicely to give us a really good match.
00:22It's Bayern Munich and they take on Celtic.
00:25Well, both teams know they need to start the game well here.
00:28Try to dominate the midfield area and get their creative players on the ball.
00:32This should be an interesting game, I think.
00:48Well, he's a player that many have been talking about.
00:51Will we be talking about him for the right reasons today, though?
00:55Well, he's such a creative player, both with his passing and his ability to beat defenders.
01:00He'll have a big influence today.
01:03This is today's Bayern Munich starting line-up.
01:06Manuel Neuer is in goal.
01:08Jonathan Tarr plays alongside Deo Upamecano as the centre-backs.
01:12And the main striker is Harry Kane.
01:14Here's the Celtic team sheet.
01:19Well, on paper, they look a very balanced team.
01:22But the three advanced midfielders must at times make runs beyond the centre-forward.
01:25Otherwise, they might just lack a bit of penetration.
01:30Good job done to keep it there.
01:31That tackle was far from clean.
01:40That's the first yellow of the match.
01:42Yeah, and a yellow this early might just keep things under control.
01:46That's a good ball.
02:05And taken cleanly, showing real authority there.
02:08Kimmich.
02:19Olisse.
02:22So is Gnabry.
02:26It's nice to see the lead.
02:29Oh, that's not Crocley away.
02:31Well, you can see his disappointment there.
02:34Yeah, that's a disappointing end to a very good move.
02:38Oh, brilliant anticipation.
03:00I think we might see two cards here.
03:03Yellow, then red.
03:03Bayern regaining possession.
03:25Blimey.
03:27Good work to beat the challenge.
03:32Gnabry.
03:33Oh, look at this.
03:41Away they go on the counter.
03:44Lovely, incisive ball.
03:47That is a great challenge.
03:49Had to make sure he won the ball there, though.
03:51Alan McGregor.
03:52Alan McGregor.
04:07Keeping it nicely, just waiting to pounce and put themselves in front.
04:11That's a lovely ball.
04:12There might be something building now.
04:14That's brilliantly won now to go with it.
04:20Gets passed really nicely.
04:24Having a try.
04:26Incredible.
04:27How was that kept out?
04:28It's put into the middle.
04:42Well, that's hugely frustrating for the coach and the players.
04:48Tension's available in the middle.
04:56Now, that's where to win the ball.
04:57Here they go.
04:58Across the dead ball line for a corner.
05:04Across the dead ball line for a corner.
05:06And the ball comes in.
05:20Murray's clear and still plenty of threat.
05:25Well, a promising looking attack, but just unable to take advantage.
05:29Well, look at the room.
05:32They've got to attack now.
05:36It's to go in front.
05:38Well, they must have thought they'd gone in front.
05:40Brilliant save.
05:42Yeah, what a passage of flight, but we're still goalless here.
05:45There's real pressure to get this away.
06:03An open invitation on the wing here.
06:07This is an excellent run.
06:09There may be an opportunity to get their noses in front with this corner.
06:24Breaking at pace.
06:25This could be dangerous.
06:32Serge Gnabry.
06:33Celtic have controlled the flow of the game in the last 15 minutes
06:40and looked a real threat going forward.
06:42But they must take one of these chances
06:44while they're having this good period
06:46that you do sense it's coming.
06:49They could be about to build something again here.
06:51Opportunity now.
06:53And that was a great chance for the opener.
06:56Yeah, not the finish he was looking for there.
06:58Yeah.
07:03Struggling to keep it here.
07:26Blimey.
07:27No need for a stoppage here.
07:30And here we go.
07:31Time for the transition.
07:33Time for go ahead.
07:38Still something on, maybe.
07:40And away it goes.
07:42Yeah, that certainly cleared the danger, didn't it?
07:44A slight challenge that might get punished.
08:03Scruffy play.
08:12Ball lost.
08:21Hooked already.
08:23And the second card must be coming.
08:24Helen McGregor.
08:52They might be in.
08:56Looking for the right moment.
09:00Diaz.
09:11Diaz.
09:11Diaz.
09:13Just needs the composure now.
09:15And the chance looks away.
09:20And the chance looks away.
09:23They've got everything right there.
09:27All done then for the first half here.
09:29A half that included a sending off.
09:31And you just wonder how much that will change things after the break.
09:34Well, that changes the whole complex of this match.
09:36These fans now know it's going to be a very difficult second half.
09:39And the second half begins.
09:51Who will it be to turn the draw into a win?
09:53Hey.
10:08He's in here.
10:12And the first blow is delivered.
10:151-0.
10:15This is a very tight finish, as you can see.
10:26He's under so much pressure.
10:28So he's straightened just the thousand to hit critical clearly.
10:31It's an excellent goal.
10:32So it's 1-0, as the ball gets rolling again.
10:47McGregor.
10:53Reporting things, moving the ball nicely.
10:55He's waiting in the centre.
11:03Oh, they've lost it.
11:05What happens now?
11:07Oh, worth a shot.
11:08And a firm grip kept on the ball.
11:13Michael Olisse.
11:16Kimmich.
11:21Moving the ball well here.
11:22Looking to extend the lead.
11:25There's a chance for the breakaway here.
11:29There's the level things.
11:31And the keeper right behind it.
11:33Yeah, made it really difficult for the striker.
11:36Top-class goalkeeping.
11:38Played into the box.
11:43And nothing coming from their play at the end.
11:48Kimmich.
11:51Harry Kane.
11:53And it's offside here.
11:55Could turn out to be a really good ball.
12:11Well, he's done well to get past his man.
12:14And that's a corner, so it could be a chance to level things.
12:23It's played in now.
12:24Strong hand, slicing high to gather under pressure.
12:29Olisse.
12:30Now Kimmich.
12:33And it's pinched, spread his mind there.
12:40This could be.
12:44That has seen all the way.
12:46And the save is made.
12:47And the save is made.
12:54And he's side against, putting it into the box.
12:58And he's shot it.
12:59Oh, brilliantly kept that.
13:01And look here.
13:02The game stops.
13:04It was offside anyway.
13:05But let's take nothing away from the save.
13:07Davies.
13:14Davies.
13:15Good work to recover possession.
13:22That's a good pass.
13:25Could be a chance.
13:27But it hasn't managed to force any sort of save.
13:29Yeah, the keeper never really looked concerned, did he?
13:36Davies.
13:38Bayern showing good width here.
13:43Genuine chance here.
13:44And he's in there.
13:48And he's missed the chance.
13:50Well, he's got to hit the target there.
13:52What a waste that is.
13:54What a waste that is.
13:56This looks promising from Bayern.
14:12And that's where it ends.
14:15And this could be the moment for a counter.
14:18And this could lead to something.
14:22Yeah, he's in.
14:24Unbelievable reflex save.
14:26Well, that's what you want from your keeper.
14:28Stopped like that.
14:32You need to be better with the ball.
14:35Looks a good ball.
14:37Very, very close.
14:39But hit too hard to get the bend that was needed to score.
14:48Kimmich.
14:51Now Kimmich.
14:56Well read to gain possession.
15:07McGregor.
15:09Really nicely played.
15:10What can they do with this now?
15:15Moving the ball well.
15:16Looking for that equaliser.
15:18Good save from the keeper.
15:19It's been delivered.
15:27It's been delivered.
15:32Davis.
15:33Harry Kane.
15:43That set up the chance.
15:47Kane.
15:48That has stopped any potential danger.
15:50You have it.
15:54No, you have it back.
15:55This is ugly football.
16:00Still pushing forward in search of the equaliser.
16:02Well, just listen to the noise in here.
16:11These fans are doing everything to get their team over the finish line.
16:14And there's not long left now.
16:16And there's a save on Kimmich's hopes alive.
16:23Yeah, what a save that was.
16:25Had it gone in, it was game over.
16:35Oh, could be here.
16:38Come away with the ball.
16:39Could be a chance to break it.
16:41Advantage played.
16:43No free kick.
16:45Can they profit from this?
16:54Good night.
16:55What a real scramble now.
16:58He's trying to find the space.
17:01Going for the blast on goal there.
17:03But power wasn't the answer.
17:05It's missed by a distance.
17:08He hasn't got away with it.
17:10It is now a booking.
17:10Excellent decision.
17:12Handled that perfectly.
17:17It's a terrific carry forward, this.
17:27Chance now for a quick transition.
17:31Oh, who wants that one?
17:34Oh, look at this.
17:38This could get interesting.
17:39Oh, great block.
17:45Could get it over now.
17:49It's a super save to preserve their lead.
17:52Well, that's a great stop.
17:54And probably a match-winning one.
17:56Real drama late on here.
17:57The corner is fired in.
18:15And it's all over with the Bayern fans able to celebrate the win.
18:20They didn't dominate the game by any means today.
18:22But overall, they had the better of the chances and just about deserved their win.
18:26Well, he's performed admirably.
18:35A really good performance.
18:36Managed to put his stamp on the game.
18:38Well, he was a major reason why they won today.
