Bayern Munich make unwanted 30-year first ahead of Celtic second leg

Celtic's latest Champions League opponents, Bayern Munich, made an unwanted 30-year first in their goalless draw with Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday night.

Vincent Kompany took his side to the BayArena for a top-of-the-table Bundesliga clash, which ultimately proved to be a damp squib.

Neither side really took the game by the scruff of the neck, and indeed, in the first half, Bayern failed to register a solitary shot on goal for the first time since records began in the 1992/93 season.

In the second 45, they did manage to conjure up two efforts, although neither were on target.

The game eventually ended 0-0, with Bayern still eight points clear at the top of the table.

They now get set to welcome Celtic to the Allianz Arena on Tuesday evening for the return leg of their Champions League knockout round playoff.

A 2-1 win for the Germans in Glasgow means the tie still hangs in the balance, although Brendan Rodgers' men will have to come up with something special if they are to progress to the last 16.

They comfortably dispatched Dundee United on Saturday, with Callum McGregor, Jota, and Adam Idah all scoring in a dominant 3-0 win.
