Bayern Munich vs Celtic LIVE: Champions League result and reaction as Davies’ late goal brings heartbreak for Hoops

Harry Kane was the first player to speak to TNT Sports at the conclusion of the first leg and he said that “whenever you win a game like this, you can always be pleased”.

“Obviously it was a shame to concede a goal but they put us under pressure at the end.

“We knew the atmosphere would give them a bit of momentum. We had to be patient, we knew we would have more of the ball, more possession.

“In the end it was a great finish from Michael [Olise], sometimes you need a bit of special quality to open a game like this up,” he added.

After Celtic were defeated 2-1 at home in the first leg Brendan Rodgers reflected on the performance saying that his “overriding feeling” was that his side were a little too passive at times.

He said: “We still feel, without doing so much with the ball, that we were stable enough without it, but they get a little bit of luck.

“It was about us being more aggressive, so that’s our mindset. We then give away a goal.”

“The one player you don’t leave unmarked is arguably the best striker in world football,” he added regarding Harry Kane’s goal.

“At 2-1, they’re hanging on then, so that’s what we can take from it, we’ve got one more shot. It’s a new level for a lot of the players.

“One more shot, a wonderful arena, let’s go and see where it takes us. We’ve shown that we can play football, we can be a threat. We’re still right in the tie.”

Celtic had talked up the visit of “European royalty” in Glasgow, of “hurting” Bayern Munich under the fierce lights and thunderous atmosphere of a big Champions League night at Parkhead.

Then the England captain rolled into town and Celtic unfurled the red carpet, leaving Harry Kane unmarked at the back post to put Bayern in control of this Champions League play-off tie.

Celtic knew they had to take a lead to Munich to have a chance of progressing, and now a minor miracle is required after their first Champions League knockout tie since 2013 ended in defeat.

While the Scottish champions caused Bayern problems at Celtic Park, the same is unlikely to happen at the Allianz, and Bayern will have enough quality to ease to a straightforward win.

Bayern Munich 2-0 Celtic.

For Celtic, there are no new concerns after the weekend either, though Paolo Bernardo has now been ruled out for up to five weeks. James Forrest is back in training, though this match will likely come too soon for him.

Predicted Celtic XI: Schmeichel, Johnston, Carter-Vickers, Trusty, Taylor; Engels, McGregor, Hatate; Kuhn, Idah, Maeda.

Bayern have no new injury concerns after the draw against Bayer Leverkusen at the weekend, with Joao Palhinha and Alphonso Davies the long-term absentees. Harry Kane should be available despite missing training on Monday.

Vincent Kompany will likely opt for a similar starting eleven to that which began the first leg, with Raphael Guerreiro, Eric Dier, Leon Goretzka and Leroy Sane making a return to the side.

Predicted Bayern XI: Neuer; Laimer, Upamecano, Dier, Guerreiro; Kimmich, Goretzka; Olise, Musiala, Sane; Kane.

Celtic travel to face Bayern Munich in the second leg of their Champions League play-off tie today, with Brendan Rodgers’ side facing an uphill task to qualify in Germany.

The Scottish champions produced a spirited display last week but fell to a 2-1 loss in the first leg at Celtic Park, with some naivety showing through as Bayern’s superior quality eventually showed.

Goals from Michael Olise and Harry Kane gave Bayern the win, and now Celtic travel to Bavaria needing to overturn a deficit if they are to take a place in the competition’s last 16.

And while the Scottish side showed flashes of potential after Daizen Maeda got a goal back in the first leg, they face a mammoth task at the Allianz as they look to pull off what would be one of the club’s most famous victories.

Welcome to The Independent’s coverage of tonight’s Champions League action as Celtic travel to Germany with the aim of upsetting Bayern Munich.

The Bundesliga leaders hold the advantage in this play-off tie second leg with a one-goal lead and a home crowd.

Celtic will hope to perform close to the same levels as in the first leg though they’ll need to cut out any mistakes if they are to make if past the German giants.

We’ll have all the updates, team news and more throughout the night so stick with us as we build up to kick off at 8pm.
