The first leg of the Champions League play-off round between Celtic and Bayern Munich ended 2-1 in favour of the visitors, giving the Bavarians a significant advantage ahead of the return leg.

In the first minute, Celtic almost created a shock when they put the ball into Bayern's net but the goal was not recognized by VAR.

Luckily escaping a goal, Bayern launched a strong attack. However, most of their shots were either inaccurate or were neutralized by Celtic's defense.

But right in the last official minute of the first half, Bayern scored the opening goal. Olise fired a decisive and dangerous shot, defeating goalkeeper Schmeichel. The first half ended with a score of 1-0 in favor of the away team.

Right at the beginning of the second half, Bayern scored their second goal. From a corner kick, Harry Kane fired a one-touch shot from very close range to double the gap.

Minutes later, Upamecano collided with Engels in the Bayern Munich penalty area. After several minutes of VAR checks, the referee did not award Celtic a penalty.

Celtic's efforts were finally rewarded in the 79th minute. Maeda took advantage of the chaos in front of Bayern's goal, heading home to reduce the gap for Celtic.

However, that was all they could do. In the end, Bayern won 2-1 and had a huge advantage going into the second leg.
