Events
Match Events
- 0' Both captains have shaken hands and the referee is ready. We are underway at Celtic Park!
- 5' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 10' Kingsley Coman has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 15 appearances with only 2 goals this season.
- 15' Celtic FC is showing some good football. However, Celtic FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 20' FC Bayern Munchen are happy to let the opposition have the ball in their own half. The trap is set.
- 25' FC Bayern Munchen fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 30' It looks like no one’s ball. Celtic FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 35' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Nicolas Kuhn suffering a number of foals already.
- 40' Jamal Musiala has been relatively quiet despite scoring 75 goals in his last 550 appearances.
- 45' FC Bayern Munchen is taking the lead after the goal scored by Michael Olise on 45.
- 49' Harry Kane doubles the advantage! 0-2 and this game is slipping away from the opposition.
- 54' The energy levels are beginning to show. Brendan Rodgers might look to freshen things up shortly.
- 59' FC Bayern Munchen started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 59.
- 64' Another substitution for FC Bayern Munchen to replace Leroy Sane by Kingsley Coman on 64 minute.
- 65' Serge Gnabry is ready to make an impact after coming on for Michael Olise at the 65 minute mark.
- 70' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Serge Gnabry made 550 appearances and scored 105 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 75' FC Bayern Munchen are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
- 77' Another substitution for Celtic FC to replace Nicolas Kuhn by Hyun-jun Yang on 77 minute.
- 78' FC Bayern Munchen make a change. Raphael Guerreiro trudges off to be replaced by Hiroki Ito on 78 minutes.
- 79' Against the run of play, Daizen Maeda has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 84' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.

- The final whistle goes. A composed, disciplined performance from FC Bayern Munchen to claim maximum points.
