They showed they can compete with Manchester City, but Bayern couldn’t pull off the much-touted miracle. Munich said goodbye to Europe with a 1-1 draw against the English champions.
Bayern can storm, but scoring goals is more than difficult for them at the moment. The Munich team ran into the Manchester box and made the “Citizens” swim a few times. But Leroy Sané (17th, 22nd) and Kingsley Coman (42nd) lacked shooting luck to make up for the 3-0 loss from the first leg.

Joshua Kimmich (83rd) only scored to equalize with a hand penalty that was again questionable.
