Bayern Munich vs Manchester United LIVE: Champions League result and reaction

Erik Ten Hag won’t be too disappointed with heading back to Old Trafford with only a one-goal deficit, especially as it looked like it could be a Bayern whitewash at one point in the game.

Manchester United started the game fairly well, trying to hit Bayern on the counter by getting the ball forward quickly and not always playing between the lines. Effective pressing combined with sloppiness from Tuchel’s team made Bayern Munich fairly ineffective in the opening stages.

An error from goalkeeper Andre Onana was quickly followed up by wonderful work from youngster Jamal Musiala however, who set Serge Gnabry up for a cool finish to put Bayern two goals up.

Rasmus Højlund managed to get his first Manchester United goal with a deflected effort, but a Harry Kane penalty shortly after, awarded for a harsh handball, saw Bayern quickly restore their two goal lead.

Casemiro battled from a lofted ball to guide home the ball on his left foot, but United again looked frail shortly after scoring when 18-year old Mathys Tel cooly finished past Onana.

A whipped in free-kick from Fernandes was touched home again by Casemiro, and was enough to send United into the second leg only a single goal down.

Bayern were the better team for the majority of the game and looked dominant, but the result is better than many would have expected for a Manchester United side in poor form and with several key defensive injuries.

Another mad Champions League tie, and one in which you couldn’t guess what was going to happen next.

Christian Eriksen should have opened the scoring inside the first five minutes only to be denied by a sharp save from Sven Ulreich. United were quick to transition the ball up the pitch and looked comfortable in the game until a howler from Andre Onana gave the hosts the opening goal.

Leroy Sane added a second before the break following a wonderful solo run from Jamal Musiala who took the ball through midfield before pulling it back to Sane for the finish.

Rasmus Hojlund netted his first goal for United to give them hope of a comeback after the break but Harry Kane restored the host’s cushion with a beautifully taken penalty.

The goals kept on coming with three being scored late. Casemiro bagged a brace either side of a Mathys Tel rocket but United couldn’t get the win.

Here’s how all the players rated at the Allianz Arena:

90+5 mins: Casemiro’s goal is checked by VAR for a potential infringement in the build -up, but the final whistle is blown shortly after the goal is allowed to stand.

The narrative of this game has shifted wildly during its course, but ultimately a one-goal defeat is not a terrible result for Erik Ten Hag’s side.

90+4 mins: GOAL! Yet another goal in this game! The third in the last seven minutes!

Bruno Fernades whips in a free-kick from the left hand side with pace, which Casemiro manages to get a touch on to direct into the goal.

The Brazillian midfielder’s second of the game.

90+1 mins: GOAL! Bayern have yet again responded to conceding a goal by scording one themselves! It’s 18 year-old Mathys Tel who has only recently come off the bench!

Moments after Muller had hit the post, Kimmich picked up the ball and floated a lovely pass to Mathys Tel, who took a lovely touch in his stride before firing past Onana.

United will be extremely dissapointed with their frailty in this game.

90 mins: United have a chance to load the box with numbers, as Fernades stands over a free-kick outside the box on the left hand side.

The ball is headed to safety easily by Bayern’s defenders however.

88 mins: GOAL! Casemiro pulls one back for United! Where has this one come from?

Manchester United intercept a stray Bayern pass, before Rashford plays the ball to Martial who does well to keep the ball and recycle possession.

A spell of play from Manchester United results in Casemiro being found in the box, who falls as he shoots but eventually manages to guide the ball into the goal with his left foot.

Manchester United won’t mind this scoreline!

The most experienced player in this years competiton, Thomas Muller, will make his way onto the pitch for his 143rd appearance.

He replaces England captain Harry Kane.

Mathys Tel also replaces Leroy Sané.

82 mins: SAVE! Onana makes another save, this time catching Choupo-Moting’s latest effort as he whipped a shot across goal on his left foot.

Manchester United break up the other end of the field, with Rashford firing a ball across the box to Garnacho at the back post, who is unable to put his effort on target.

82 mins: A slip at the back from Bayern almost leads Scott McTominay to have a chance on goal, but the midfielder slips as he attempts to capitalise on the error and Bayern regain possession.
