Bayern Munich vs Inter Milan LIVE!
Bayern Munich play host to Inter Milan at the Allianz Arena in a Champions League quarter-final first-leg clash tonight. Vincent Kompany’s side are faced with a worsening injury crisis, coming into the match with no less than nine first-team players unavailable. Among the wounded are Jamal Musiala (hamstring), Dayot Upamecano (knee), and Alphonso Davies (ACL). Kingsley Coman is also a doubt for the match.
The game will be Bayern’s first since announcing that Thomas Muller would depart the club after 25 years. While it would be a romantic end to his career in red, Muller has a mountain to climb if he is to add a third Champions League trophy to his cabinet, as Inter could take full advantage of their hosts’ injury woes.
Inter are in the midst of an understated yet formidable march towards possible Champions League contention. They conceded just two goals in the competition’s league phase and breezed through the round of 16, beating Feyenoord 4-1 over two legs. Still top of Serie A, the Nerazzurri could yet be hunting a potential double. Follow Bayern Munich vs Inter Milan live below!

FULL-TIME | Bayern Munich 1-2 Inter Milan
21:56 , Dom SmithBayern Munich are beaten at home in the Champions League for the first time since April 2021, and that’s a huge coup for Inter Milan.
The Italians lead through Lautaro Martinez’s stunner right up until veteran Thomas Muller appeared to have snatched a point for the Bavarians in the 85th minute.
But then, three minutes later, came Davide Frattesi’s kate winner to ensure Inter take all three points back with them for their home tie at San Siro next week!

Zalewski picks up a yellow for a late challenge on fellow substitute Boey.
Bayern Munich 1-2 Inter Milan
21:50 , Dom Smith90+1mins: Amazing end to this game. The fourth official signals there will be four added minutes, as Martinez leaves the pitch and Zalewski replaces him.
GOOAAALLL | Inter look to have stolen the win!
21:47 , Dom Smith88mins: Incredible. Inter have regained their lead through Frattesi just three minutes after Muller levels the game.
He gets in front of Dier and slams home what could well be the winner!
GOOAAAALLLL Bayern!
21:45 , Dom Smith85mins: THAT’S the goal Bayern needed and it arrives from Muller!
Laimer receives the ball on the left and crosses accurately through the bodies for Muller to slap home. In the week he reveals he’s been told the club are not keeping him beyond the end of the season, he saves them!
Bayern Munich 0-1 Inter Milan
21:41 , Dom Smith82mins: The ball is played to Muller but his shot is blocked behind. Kimmich takes the resultant corner, but Sommer punches it away.
Then a fierce but blazed effort by Boey. Bayern on the way to defeat if they don’t improve their end product.
Bayern Munich 0-1 Inter Milan
21:38 , Dom Smith79mins: Inter sub as Bisseck replaces Darmian.
Inter, by the way, have only let in two goals all tournament. Given this Champions League format has been expanded, that some achievement. Bayern finding difficulty in breaching Sommer’s goal as the final 10 minutes approaches.
Kane strikes wide.
Bayern Munich 0-1 Inter Milan
21:36 , Dom Smith77mins: Elsewhere, by the way, Arsenal are THREE NIL up at home against Real Madrid, with Rice having smacked in two stunning free-kicks and Merino just scored Arsenal’s third!
Inter still ahead here, as Gnabry hits the side netting.
Bayern Munich 0-1 Inter Milan
21:33 , Dom SmithThe answer is very little. It’s easily saved.
Sub for Inter as Frattesi for Mkhitaryan.
Boey, Gnabry and Muller replace Guerreiro, Kim and Sane.
Bayern Munich 0-1 Inter Milan
21:29 , Dom Smith70mins: Kane is felled just outside the D and the challenge from Mkhitaryan rightly sees the Armenian booked.
Now, what Bayern conjure up from this free-kick?
Bayern Munich 0-1 Inter Milan
21:26 , Dom SmithThey don’t have a huge number of options, but Gnabry and Muller are among the subs and you just feel Bayern could do with fresh legs here.
CLOSE | Bayern Munich 0-1 Inter Milan
21:24 , Dom Smith65mins: SO CLOSE to the leveller from Bayern. Guerreiro cannons a volley from range which dips just a little too late and flies marginally over Sommer’s bar. The hosts have upped the ante in the last 10 minutes or so.
Bayern Munich 0-1 Inter Milan
21:21 , Dom Smith62mins: Laimer winds a cross into the box from the right and it’s onto the head of Goretzka, but the German nods over.
Bayern Munich 0-1 Inter Milan
21:18 , Dom Smith59mins: Bayern drenched in possession right now, jus camped outside Inter’s box. But Inzaghi’s defending has been so solid tonight.
Bayern Munich 0-1 Inter Milan
21:15 , Dom Smith56mins: A fine stop by Urbig, and then a good chance for Goretzka but he can’t sort his feet out. It’s all just a little too patient from Bayern.
Bayern Munich 0-1 Inter Milan
21:12 , Dom Smith54mins: A booking is shown to Martinez for a cynical challenge on Sane to stop the German breaking away.
Bayern Munich 0-1 Inter Milan
21:11 , Dom Smith52mins: Inter work a free-kick very nicely indeed with Martinez almost turning and shooting, but before he can get his effort off Goretzka slides in to tackle.
Bayern Munich 0-1 Inter Milan
21:09 , Dom Smith50mins: Inter popping it about nicely in midfield. Bayern haven’t started well in this second half.
Kick off | Bayern Munich 0-1 Inter Milan
21:04 , Dom Smith46mins: Back underway at the Allianz.
How about THIS then
21:00 , Dom SmithINTER ARE AHEAD, AND WHAT A GOAL 🤧

Beautiful build up play finds Thuram who brilliantly back-heels into the path of Lautaro Martinez, and his outside of the foot finish finds the back of the net ⚽️

Half-time stats
20:51 , Dom SmithAt the halfway point, it’s Inter who lead 1-0. Here are the (less) important stats:
Bayern shots: 7
Inter shots: 6
Bayern possession: 48.7 per cent
Inter possessions: 51.3 per cent
HT | Bayern Munich 0-1 Inter Milan
20:48 , Dom Smith45+1 mins: A late corner for Bayern is taken by Kimmich. It was into the near post, but Inter get it clear.
And then the half-time whistle goals, with Inter exactly where they want to be: ahead in the away leg, having grown slowly into the match.
Bayern Munich 0-1 Inter Milan
20:47 , Dom Smith45mins: Just the one minute added on at the end of this first half.
Bayern Munich 0-1 Inter Milan
20:45 , Dom Smith44mins: Thuram makes his way into the box and is searching for space for a shot, but Kane is back there to tackle him.
Bayern Munich 0-1 Inter Milan
20:4342mins: Inter have their tails up, and no wonder. It was a sensational goal from them and they have a lead in this away leg as the break approaches.
GOAL | Bayern Munich 0-1 Inter Milan
20:40 , Dom Smith37mins: Inter have composed themselves and look well structured and now they are into the lead. And WHAT a goal it was from Lautaro Martinez.
Augusto plays the early ball into Thuram, who lays it back for Martinez, who needs only one touch of the ball to fire with the outside of the boot into the top corner. It’s a scorcher!
Bayern Munich 0-0 Inter Milan
20:33 , Dom Smith31mins: And the best chance yet for Inter is squandered by Augusto!
Bastoni marauds forward from the back and plays Augusto through on the overlap down the left, but the wing-back can only arrow the ball into the side-netting.
Inter growing but Bayern currently popping it about.
Bayern Munich 0-0 Inter Milan
20:30 , Dom Smith30mins: Kim collects the first yellow card of the match for a tackle on Martinez in which he catches the Argentine’s ankle. Not a good challenge.
HOW'S HE NOT SCORED?
20:28 , Dom Smith26mins: Olise has danced through the Inter defence and then slipped to Kane. The striker is on the left of the box and has plenty of time to curl it... against the post!
It’s a huge let-off for Inter, and leaves Kane with his head in his hands.
CLOSE | Bayern Munich 0-0 Inter Milan
20:24 , Dom Smith22mins: More good play from the hosts, with Laimer faking a long-shot and the slipping, instead, to Olise. His effort is parried, and then Kane can’t strain his neck enough and sees his follow-up header land wide.
Bayern Munich 0-0 Inter Milan
20:22 , Dom Smith20mins: Another decent chance comes and goes for dominant Bayern, with Guerreiro testing the gloves of Sommer but the Swiss shot-stopper equal to it and able to push the ball away.
The Calhanoglu has a go from range at the other end. The game spicing up perhaps?
Bayern Munich 0-0 Inter Milan
20:18 , Dom Smith16mins: It’s all Bayern at the moment. Inter struggling to get out, and while trying to do so they give it away and allow the bright Olise to fire on goal. Sommer is behind it.
The Italians need to settle.
Bayern Munich 0-0 Inter Milan
20:15 , Dom Smith12mins: CLOSE! Olise’s ball across is searching for Kane in the middle. The England captain gets his head to it but doesn’t get enough on it, so goalkeeper Sommer is able to hold.
Bayern Munich 0-0 Inter Milan
20:11 , Dom Smith10mins: A ball up the line from Dier flies out of play and appears to frustrate Kompany. A pretty even start to this much so far.
Bayern Munich 0-0 Inter Milan
20:08 , Dom Smith7mins: Olise with a fine effort from the right which fizzes just wide.
That was CLOSE to the opener.
Kimmich, with the following corner, tries to catch out goalkeeper Sommer but the corner delivery lands on the roof of the net.
Bayern Munich 0-0 Inter Milan
20:07 , Dom Smith5mins: Good run by Kane who sets Olise free down the right, but the fit-again Bastoni is back to tackle Olise.
Bayern Munich 0-0 Inter Milan
20:04 , Dom Smith2mins: Noticeable that Bayern have opted against a back-three, with Laimer at right-back and Guerreiro actually supporting Kane as the attacking midfielder in a 4-2-3-1.
Let’s see whether that tinkering by Kompany pays off.
Kick off
20:01 , Dom Smith1min: We’re underway between Bayern and Inter at the Allianz Arena.
Kick off fast approaching
19:54 , Dom SmithJust over five minutes until kick-off now!
Rewind time
19:47 , Dom SmithA reminder that tonight is a rerun of the 2010 Champions League final, in which Diego Milito scored twice to hand Jose Mourinho’s Inter a 2-0 win over Bayern. Inter, in winning the match, became the first Italian team ever to win a treble.
In that outstanding team which Mourinho coached were the likes of Dejan Stankovic, Samuel Eto’o, Lucio and Maicon. Some side!
Out on the grass
19:38 , Dom SmithThe hosts are out and getting a feel for it pre-match. You sense the likes of Kimmich will need a big performance tonight, given how hard injuries have hit Bayern.
Bayern check in

Manchester United men of the past
19:11 , Dom SmithInter line up tonight with a couple of former United flops in their team tonight, in the form of Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Matteo Darmian.
The former Stoke City striker Marko Arnautovic (still kick around, aged 35) is on the bench for the Nerazzurri.
Bayern XI looks injury-hit as expected
19:01 , Dom SmithSo the nine absentees for Bayern have made this a pretty experimental-looking line-up for a match of such high stakes.
Urbig in goal due to Neuer’s injury, while the likes of Kim and Dier come into the defence.
In the week he announced he would be leaving the club in the summer, might there be a super-sub impact off the bench for 35-year-old Thomas Muller?
Inter Milan starting line-up
18:55 , Dom SmithInter XI (3-5-2): Sommer; Pavard, Acerbi, Bastoni; Darmian, Barrella, Calhanoglu, Mkhitaryan, Augusto; Martinez, Thuram
Subs: Di Gennaro, J Martinez, De Vrij, Arnautovic, Frattesi, Bisseck, Dimarco, De Pieri, Berenbruch, Zanchetta, Re Cecconi, Zalewski
Bayern Munich starting line-up
18:50 , Dom SmithBayern XI (3-4-3): Urbig; Stanisic, Dier, Kim; Laimer, Goretzka, Kimmich, Guerreiro; Olise, Kane, Sane
Subs: Peretz, Klanac, Gnabry, Palhinha, Boey, Vidovic, Muller, Kusi-Asare, Jensen, Karl

Bayern Munich vs Inter Milan prediction
18:35 , Dom SmithThe stars seemed to be aligning for Thomas Muller’s perfect send off. A club legend lifts the Champions League title at the Allianz Arena two-and-a-half decades after signing - you couldn’t write a more romantic end to your Bayern career.
Unfortunately for him, though, it seems rain is forecast on the day of his parade. His nine injured teammates represent cosmic levels of bad luck, and it will take a miracle for the Bavarians to overcome their Italian visitors, who are in a rich vein of form.

Inter Milan team news
18:16 , Dom SmithInter’s squad is comparatively healthy. Kristjan Asllani will miss out, suspended after picking up three bookings in the campaign, while Polish midfielder Piotr Zielinski, Denzel Dumfries, and Medhi Taremi are all expected to miss the match with minor injuries.
Manager Inzaghi said he’s hopeful Alessandro Bastoni, Federico Dimarco, Hakan Çalhanoğlu and captain Lautaro Martinez will be fine to play after training.
Bayern Munich team news (and it's not positive!)
18:01 , Dom SmithDespite enjoying home advantage, the cards look stacked against Bayern, who will be without nine first team players for Inter’s visit. Chelsea academy graduate Jamal Musiala, who has scored 18 goals in all competitions this season, has suffered a setback in his recovery from a hamstring injury which may keep him out for the season.
Alphonso Davies, Dayot Upamecano, Hiroki Ito, and Aleksandar Pavlovic are all set to miss out, while full-back Kingsley Coman are also both doubts.
To further complicate manage Vincent Kompany’s selection woes, veteran goalkeeper Manuel Neuer will likely miss out with a torn calf. The 39-year-old, who has made 554 Bayern appearances, was pictured training yesterday, but completed the entire session sitting down, meaning Jonas Urbig could be called upon to deputise.
Leon Goretzka and Raphael Guerreiro are both doubts for the match as they are in the latter stages of their recovery. The defensive mire means former Tottenham man Eric Dier may again be called upon to start at centre-back having stepped up as a stop-gap in recent weeks, starting three matches in a row.
