FC Bayern won the playoff first leg in Glasgow. Some players of the record champion could recommend themselves – others not. The grades in individual criticism.
FC Bayern has conquered the “Paradise”, as the Celtic Glasgow stadium is called. The record champion won 2-1 on Wednesday in the first leg of the Champions League intermediate round and now has the round of 16 in view.
Defender Dayot Upamecano was satisfied. “It was a deserved victory against a heavy opponent in a great stadium. We are very satisfied. We gave everything and were very awake,” said the Frenchman at the DAZN microphone.
The Munich team had to survive a moment of terror when Celtics Nicolas Kühn, who played from 2020 to 2022 in the second team of Bayern, pulled out and scored from 18 meters. Because of an offside position, the goal did not count – and the team of coach Vincent Kompany was able to take a deep breath.
As a result, the Bavarians dominated the game, but missed the superiority to convert into top -class goal opportunities. The goals for 1-0 and 2: 0 by Michael Olise (45th) and Harry Kane (49th) were more than deserved. It was only through the late goal of Celtics Daizen Maeda (79th) that there was a tension again, but ultimately it was no longer enough for the Scots.

“It’s a victory, but it’s half -time,” Kompany recalled after the game at DAZN of the upcoming second leg in the coming week in the local alliance Arena. “But Celtic actually loses little at home in Europe, so let’s take this victory with us. We are also strong at home. We are looking forward to next Tuesday.”
