Bayern Munich will next face either Bayer Leverkusen or Atletico Madrid, depending on Friday’s draw.
Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies grabbed a last-gasp equaliser against Celtic, making it a 1-1 draw on Tuesday to advance to the Champions League Round of 16 with a 3-2 aggregate win.
It will next face either Bayer Leverkusen or Atletico Madrid, depending on Friday’s draw.
Davies scored in the dying minutes after former Bayern reserve player Nicolas Kuehn had given the Scots a shock lead in the 63rd minute in their effort to overturn a first-leg deficit and win a first game in Germany in 16 attempts.
Having lost the first leg 2-1 in Glasgow, Celtic came agonisingly close to forcing extra time with a bold performance that had the hosts on the back foot for much of the game.
With the Bavarians made to sweat from the start, Celtic’s Kuehn saw a shot cleared on the line by Raphael Guerreiro in the 16th minute before Daizen Maeda narrowly missed connecting with an Arne Engels cross in front of goal a little later.
Bayern, which drew 0-0 at reigning German champion Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday, had to wait until the stroke of halftime for its own opportunity, striker Harry Kane hitting the woodwork with a shot.
