Brave Celtic suffer Champions League sickener as Nicolas Kuhn denied place in history by Alphonso Davies - 5 talking points

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Celtic suffered Champions League heartbreak in stoppage time away to Bayern Munich.Alphonso Davies’ late goal stopped Brendan Rodgers from taking this play-off tie to extra time.

Celtic had stunned the Germans by going through Nicolas Kuhn’s goal on his return to his old stomping ground. It had looked to be enough to get another 30 minutes before Davies broke their hearts with the final attack.Celtic were out but there was nothing to be down about.

They had given the Bundesliga side an almighty fright. Daizen Maeda’s second half goal at Parkhead had given Celtic hope, but it was always going to be an extreme challenge to try and overturn a one goal deficit in one of the toughest environments in European football.Bayern Munich are the Bundesliga leaders and they were desperate to go the distance this year with the final in their Allianz Arena home in May.

You can also factor in the fact Celtic had been battered 7-1 by Borussia Dortmund on their last visit to the country back in October and the fact is that they had never previously won a game on German soil.There was a poignant minute of respect for those who lost their lives in the city’s attack last week.
