Davies strikes late for Bayern after Kühn gives Celtic hope of a shock

If Bayern Munich are heavily incentivised by the return of the Champions League final to their home stadium, this was a strange way of showing it. To Celtic, all the plaudits following a heroic showing in Bavaria.

If Bayern Munich are heavily incentivised by the return of the Champions League final to their home stadium, this was a strange way of showing it. To Celtic, all the plaudits following a heroic showing in Bavaria. This Celtic performance ranks among the finest by a Scottish team away from home in Europe in living memory. Extra-time felt the least they deserved after they took a second-half lead.

They were denied it by a horrible, scrappy goal claimed by Alphonso Davies after a Cameron Carter-Vickers clearance rebounded back off him from all of two yards. Celtic have grown in this Champions League. In Munich, they came of age. This outcome was cruel.

Bayern supposedly have redemption on their mind after the penalty shootout loss to Chelsea when European club football's showpiece occasion was last held at the Allianz Arena, 13 years ago. Vincent Kompany looked on with increasing anxiety as even a last-16 spot looked in serious doubt. Celtic had Bayern firmly on the ropes.
