They took more shots, had higher expected goals and held more possession than their opponents, but a lack of lethal finishing, especially compared to Bayern’s ruthlessness, meant they ultimately lost the tie. That was where Bayern Munich prospered today, with three of their goals coming from winning the ball high up the pitch and scoring with clinical strikes, while the opener was an unfortunate own-goal from Erick Pulgar.
