Bayern Edge Celtic With Last-gasp Davies Strike To Reach Ucl Last 16

Bayern Munich clinched their place in the Champions League last 16 in dramatic fashion on Tuesday, with Alphonso Davies scoring a stoppage-time equaliser to secure a 1-1 draw on the night and a 3-2 aggregate victory over Celtic.

The German giants will now face either Bayer Leverkusen or Atletico Madrid in the next round.

Celtic had been on course for a famous victory after leading since the 63rd minute and looked poised to take the tie into extra time. However, Davies stepped up in the 94th minute, reacting quickest to a rebound after Kasper Schmeichel had parried a header from Leon Goretzka.

Davies' goal was a relief for Bayern coach Vincent Kompany, who praised the full-back's resilience after his recent struggles with injury.

He worked hard with the rehab team and medical team, said Kompany. We've immediately seen what he offers for the team.
