Bayern Munich and Celtic Battle for Champions League Glory
Alright, football fans, let’s talk about a thrilling Champions League night between Bayern Munich and Celtic! The stakes were high, and both teams knew what was on the line—advancing to the last 16. Coming into this second-leg clash at the Allianz Arena, Bayern had the upper hand with a 2-1 aggregate lead, but Celtic arrived with real belief that they could turn things around.
Right from the start, Celtic came out with energy and confidence. They pressed high, created chances, and really put Bayern under pressure. In the first 20 minutes alone, Celtic carved open the German giants multiple times! Nicolas Kühn had a golden opportunity to put his side ahead, but his shot was cleared off the line. Callum McGregor also had a fantastic chance but failed to keep his effort on target. You could feel the frustration because, honestly, Celtic should have been up by at least one goal at that point.
Meanwhile, Bayern were a bit rattled early on but slowly settled into their rhythm. The ever-dangerous Harry Kane had his first real sight of goal, but his shot deflected off Auston Trusty, and Kasper Schmeichel reacted superbly to deny him. It was a huge moment, as Bayern started to regain control. Their passing became sharper, and they were probing Celtic’s defense, looking for that breakthrough.

Despite being outnumbered in the stands, the traveling Celtic fans were in full voice, pushing their team forward. Every time Celtic surged forward, you could sense the belief growing—this was not the team many expected to just sit back and defend. They were going toe-to-toe with Bayern, showing real attacking intent.
As the game progressed, Bayern became more dominant in possession, patiently waiting for gaps in Celtic’s defense. They knew they didn’t have to rush—holding onto their aggregate lead was enough. Celtic, on the other hand, knew they needed at least one goal to keep their dream alive. Daizen Maeda had a chance to connect with a low cross but just missed the ball. Moments like these could have changed everything!
Alan Shearer, speaking on Prime Video Sport, pointed out that if Celtic needed any more belief that they could win this tie, their performance in the first half certainly provided it. But in games like this, chances need to be taken, and that was the story of Celtic’s night—promising moments but no final product.
Bayern, being the experienced Champions League side they are, managed the game well. They knew how to slow things down, disrupt Celtic’s momentum, and keep control when needed. As full-time approached, they held firm, keeping the scoreline goalless on the night but securing their place in the next round with a 2-1 aggregate win.
Celtic will walk away with their heads held high, proving they can go toe-to-toe with Europe’s best. But in the end, Bayern’s quality and composure saw them through. Another big European night at the Allianz Arena, another step forward for the German giants.
