Davies’ late strike for Bayern breaks Celtic hearts in Champions League
If Bayern Munich are heavily incentivised by the return of the Champions League final to their home stadium, this was a strange way of showing it. To Celtic, all the plaudits following a heroic showing in Bavaria. This performance ranks among the finest by a Scottish team away from home in Europe in living memory. Extra-time felt the least they deserved after they took a second half lead.
They were denied it by a horrible, scrappy goal claimed by Alphonso Davies after a Cameron Carter-Vickers clearance rebounded back off him from all of two yards. Celtic have grown in this Champions League. In Munich, they came of age. This outcome was cruel.
