Nicolas Kuhn's second-half goal put Celtic in a strong position, showcasing their resilience and competitive spirit against the Bundesliga giants. Kasper Schmeichel's heroic performance with eight saves emphasized Celtic's defensive discipline, but Alphonso Davies equalized in injury time, sending Bayern through. Manager Brendan Rodgers praised his team's outstanding effort, contrasting it with their earlier humiliating defeat against Borussia Dortmund, highlighting significant improvement and determination.
Alphonso Davies scrambled home from close range after Kasper Schmeichel had clawed away Leon Goretzka's header to send the German side through.
Football is a cruel game sometimes, that's the emotion at the moment. I was loving every minute so another 30 would have been amazing.
We were outstanding, played without any fear. Defended so well, with discipline, pressed at the right moments, gave them issues on that side.
I can only take immense pride from the performance - the guys gave everything.
