🕒 12:00 PM ET @ Allianz Arena (Munich, Germany)
Bayern Munich return to the Allianz Arena with a 2-1 first-leg advantage after securing a crucial victory in Glasgow. While they dominated possession (58%), Celtic showed resilience, creating chances and grabbing a goal late.
With Celtic needing at least one goal to stay in the tie, expect an aggressive approach from the Scottish side. Meanwhile, Bayern will look to kill the game early through their attacking trio of Harry Kane, Michael Olise, and Jamal Musiala.
