Bayern Munich scraped into the UEFA Champions League Last 16 after rescuing a late 1-1 draw to break heroic Celtic’s hearts at Allianz Arena.
Vincent Kompany’s German giants looked to manage the game after winning the first leg 2-1 in Scotland but were stunned just past the hour when Nicolas Kuhn broke the deadlock on the night and levelled the tie on aggregate with an ice-cool finish.
The hosts toiled but avoided extra-time in the fourth-minute of stoppage time when substitute Alphonso Davies bundled home a rebound from close range to clinch a 3-2 success on aggregate.
The visitors had the better of the early chances with Kuhn and Daizen Maeda failing to convert some gilt-edged openings.
Bayern threatened occasionally with Harry Kane hitting the crossbar on the stroke of half time. However, the England striker, who was a doubt prior to kick off, was replaced at the interval and the Bundesliga giants missed him with a lack of presence in the penalty area in the second half.
Former Bayern reserve winger, Kuhn made it a nervy evening for the home crowd with his smart finish and there was clear relief at the full-time whistle as Davies’ goal earned a last-16 tie against Atletico Madrid or Bayer Leverkusen.
Next up, Celtic visit sixth-placed Hibernian in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday lunchtime. Bundesliga leaders Bayern are at home to third-placed Frankfurt on Sunday.
