Crazy CL evening
Bayern, Monaco and Co. in action – LIVE from 9pm
FC Bayern are through to the last 16 of the Champions League. In the 94th minute, Alphonso Davies rescued a 1:1 draw (aggregate score 2:1) against Celtic Glasgow on Tuesday evening. Adi Hütter's AS Monaco had to bow out of the top flight after a 3:3 thriller (3:4) against Benfica, while Bruges defeated Atalanta 3:1 (5:2).
FC Bayern Munich advanced to the last 16 of the Champions League with a black eye after a poor performance. The German record champions drew 1-1 (0-0) at home to Celtic Glasgow in the play-off second leg on Tuesday evening thanks to a late Davies goal, which was enough after the 2-1 first-leg win. AS Monaco drew 3-3 at Benfica Lisbon and were eliminated 4-3 on aggregate. Atalanta Bergamo and AC Milan were unexpectedly eliminated.
Minute's silence for attack victims
In Munich, a minute's silence was held in memory of the victims of last Thursday's attack in the Bavarian capital. In the game, Bayern - ÖFB team player Konrad Laimer was on the bench - did little going forward. Celtic, on the other hand, repeatedly made pinpricks. Nicolas Kühn narrowly missed giving the Scots the lead in the 16th minute. The ex-Rapidler did better in the second half and gave the visitors a not undeserved lead (63') after Bayern made several mistakes at the back.
Bayern coach Vincent Kompany reacted and brought on fresh forces in the shape of Leroy Sane and Alphonso Davies. The Germans were now on the attack, but failed either because of Celtic keeper Kasper Schmeichel or because their finishing was too inaccurate. Davies finally redeemed Munich with the equalizer in stoppage time (94'). The dream of the "title Dahoam" is now alive - the final will take place in Munich on May 31. Leverkusen or Atletico Madrid now await in the round of 16.
Monaco and Italian clubs eliminated
There was also drama in Lisbon. After Kerem Aktürkoglu (22') put Benfica ahead, ex-Salzburg player Takumi Minamino equalized for coach Adi Hütter's side (32'). Eliesse Ben Seghir finally turned the game around after the break for Monaco (51'), who had lost the first leg 1-0 at home. However, Evangelos Pavlidis equalized from the penalty spot (76'). Now events came thick and fast: George Ilenikhena scored to make it 3:2 for Monaco (81'), and just three minutes later Orkun Kökcü leveled the scores again. Another penalty for Benfica was conceded by VAR, but the Portuguese side survived the visitors' final offensive.
The home fans in Bergamo could not believe their eyes. Club Brugge, who had already won the first leg 2:1, mercilessly countered the Europa League winners. Chemsdine Talbi scored twice for the Belgians in the first half hour (3rd, 27th). And while Atalanta missed numerous chances, Ferran Jutgla increased the lead to 3:0 before the break (45.+3). Ademola Lookman, who had only been in the game for half a minute, raised hopes with his goal to make it 1:3 and then buried them when he failed to beat Simon Mignolet with a penalty (61'). Stefan Posch was substituted in the 77th minute for the Italians, who finished the game with only ten players after Rafael Toloi was shown a red card.
AC Milan were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Feyenoord Rotterdam after losing the first leg 1-0. The Rossoneri took the lead after just 38 seconds thanks to a header from Santiago Gimenez. The Mexican striker had joined the Lombards from Rotterdam for 32 million euros just two weeks ago.
Trauner missing through injury
Theo Hernandez was shown a yellow card at the start of the second half for a foul (51). This turned the game around and Argentinian Julian Carranza equalized (73') to secure Feyenoord's promotion. The Rotterdammers, who were missing ÖFB team defender Gernot Trauner through injury, will now face either Inter Milan or Arsenal London in the round of 16.
