In the latest Champions League action, Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich travelled to Stadio San Paolo in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 on October 18. An own goal and a saved penalty restricted Bayern to a 1-1 draw despite their extended domination.
An early first half strike from midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Toni-Kroos-c35425 earned Bayern a lead, which was cancelled by an own goal from Holger Badstuber, helping the Azzurri secure an unlikely point.
Bayern started the game as favourites and a second-minute goal signalled warning for the home team. The Blues did not sit back and responded perfectly, forcing Bayern on to the back foot.
Following the match, the Reds manager, Jupp Heynckes, has stated that his side played outstandingly well during the first half and should have scored more goals. He thought that the Bavarians squandered a number of chances, restricting them to a draw
at the end.
Heynckes was all praise for Kroos, whose second-minute opener made things easy for the visitors. The manager, at the same time, urged Mario Gomez to settle down after the player missed a penalty in the second half. Napoli goalkeeper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Morgan-De-Sanctis-c26801
saved the striker’s effort and in doing so, saved the Italian outfit from going down in their own back yard.
While talking during the post match presentation, the manager further enthused, "It was a good performance from us and we were in control, so a win wouldn't have been undeserved. The goal we conceded was unlucky but we can make mistakes too. They're
footballers, but also humans."
The former Bayer Leverkusen manager also added, "Napoli are a dangerous team and you always have to be vigilant against them but we didn't allow them a single chance until the equaliser. Then there was a spell of six to eight minutes where we didn't
look good, but in the second half we were on top again. “
Munich are still leading the Champions League Group A with seven points from three games, while the Blues are second with five points.
