Joshua Kimmich was the unlikely destroyer of dreams, thundering a header past David Raya from Raphael Guerreiro’s clipped cross to score the only goal of the second leg and secure a 3-2 aggregate win.
“I think it was a game you could see that an error or a magical moment was going to decide the tie, the margins are so small. And in the end, we didn’t defend well at all our box in that action.” The Bundesliga handover from Bayern to Bayer was officially completed at the weekend, not that you’d have known before kick-off with the home fans in full voice.
At the other end, a Martin Odegaard shot that took a nick on its way to goal was dealt with in typically unconventional fashion by Manuel Neuer, before a tame Gabriel Martinelli finish from the centre of the penalty area rolled straight into the veteran’s giant gloves. The chaotic nature of the contest continued. Eric Dier had to be sharp to deny Kai Havertz a clear before Gabriel almost inadvertently passed the ball into his own goal after Bayern had countered at pace. Heads were on a constant swivel, as though watching two players going at it at Wimbledon.Midway through the second half, the decisive breakthrough arrived.
