Bayern stun Man. United 2-1 in Champions League. |
The match was eagerly anticipated as a re-run of the famous thrilling Champions League final in 1999 when two dramatic goals right at the end of the game took the trophy to Old Trafford in a devastating blow to the Germans.
Manchester United's striker Wayne Rooney latched on to a deflected free-kick and delivered a close-range volley for his 34th goal of the season with only 66 seconds played.
But after this disastrous start, the home side began to control the match, with French international playmaker Franck Ribery running the show in midfield.
Bayern missed a golden opportunity half way through the first period as Olic somehow missed from about a yard out completely unmarked in front of goal.
Rooney missed a equally good chance of his own in front of goal before the end of an open and entertaining first half.
In the second half, Dutchman Edwin van der Sar was by far the busiest of the two goalkeepers as Bayern pressed hard for an equalizer. However, Rooney continued to threaten the German defense with his pace as United looked to hit them on the break.
