Bayern Munich improved their poor away record with a 1-2 victory against Celtic in the Champions League. The match saw Bayern controlling the game initially, leading 2-0, but Celtic managed to make it competitive in the final moments. Despite a tense finish, Bayern's CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen praised both the win and the performance, emphasizing the significance of the result. He highlighted it as their first Champions League away win in nearly a year and recognized the return of long-term absentee Hiroki Itō, who played his first competitive match in 198 days.
It certainly wasn't an easy game. You made things a bit exciting in the last 20 minutes. But this was a special day because, if we don't count the Shakhtar game that wasn't really an away game, this was the first away win in the Champions League since 12 December 2023 against Manchester United.
A special mention to Hiroki Itō who has been with us for 198 days but hasn't played a competitive game until today. A very special round of applause for Hiroki. It's great that you're back and that you played again today.
