In a thrilling climax, Alphonso Davies scored a crucial equalizer in stoppage time, securing Bayern Munich’s progression with an aggregate score of 3-2. The late goal left Celtic heartbroken as Davies’ last-minute strike propelled the German giants into the Champions League Round of 16.
Initially, it was Nicolas Kuhn, a former player of the hosts for the evening, who put the Scottish champions ahead with a composed finish. His goal seemed to set the stage for extra time, a scenario Celtic truly earned with their performance. However, their hopes were dashed in the final moments when Davies capitalized on a spectacular Kasper Schmeichel save, averting what would have been a massive upset.
Celtic’s journey in the competition has come to an end, while Bayern Munich now turns their focus toward their next challenge against either Atletico Madrid or Bayer Leverkusen in the quest for glory in the last 16.
