Events
Match Events

- 25' Over 25 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 30' Manchester United FC are deployed in a 4-2-3-1 today, looking to exploit space against FC Bayern München's 4-2-3-1 shape.

- 40' Jonny Evans is ready to make an impact after coming on for Harry Maguire at the 40 minute mark.
- 45' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 45 minutes.
- 46' Aaron Wan-Bissaka is ready to make an impact after coming on for Luke Shaw at the 46 minute mark.
- 51' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
- 53' Poor challenge from Antony. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 58' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
- 61' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Sofyan Amrabat.
- 66' Leroy Sane has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 1 goals to his name this season.
- 67' A tactical swap from FC Bayern Munchen — Thomas Muller on, Jamal Musiala off on 67 minutes.

- 85' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

- 88' Leon Goretzka has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 88.
