"Bayern produced scarcely a chance in the first half, while Manchester United found frequent joy with long balls in behind on either flank. The warning signs flashed from the opening whistle, and it was not long before one of these caused enough confusion in the Bayern backline."
"Captain Glódís Perla Viggósdóttir rose to the occasion and rose to meet a corner in the 82nd minute to restore Bayern's edge. Then, less than three minutes later, another Bayern corner produced the finishing blow."
"It was not the most convincing of performances but Bayern will take it, having overcome a sleepwalking first half to settle in and produce a decisive and deserved victory."
