Latest Liverpool news: Supporters react to 0-0 draw against Bayern Munich in Champions League
Liverpool huffed and puffed but could not blow the Bayern Munich house down in the first leg of the round of 16 tie against the Germans.
Bayern, who haven’t looked great this season, were under enormous pressure in the first half but some resolute defending and poor finishing on our part ensured the teams went into the break level.
Sadio Mane had a couple of quality chances that he could not take while Alisson wasn’t threatened a lot by the Bavarians.
Liverpool let Bayern have the ball for portions of the game, but our final pass often wasn’t good enough to make the Germans pay.
All to play for after 90 minutes
The second half started like the first with the Reds trying to break down the Bayern defence. However, there was a lot of quality on show in the Bayern back-line with Joshua Kimmich impressing.
The right-back will be suspended for the second leg after picking up a booking in this game, and that could be a huge boost for us as an away goal could mean all the difference in this tie.
Mane was the closest to breaking the deadlock late on when he headed low, however, Manuel Neuer reacted quickly to stop the ball going into the net.
A 0-0 isn’t the worst result in the world and given our performance, we should have chances to score in the reverse tie.
The only aspect of our game that needs working on is the finishing. Despite the draw, several Liverpool fans saw the positive side from the game and shared their opinions.
I’ll take no away goals especially without Van Dijk but it would’ve been nice to score.

That Kimmich guy defended really well. Am glad he won’t be there next leg and we will have Van Dijk back.
Mane had many chances :/
I really think we need a playmaker.

Not many opportunities. At least we didn’t concede an away goal.

We will draw in Munich and go through, or win, no worries

Nice one guys .. Goal goal draw at Bayern will see us through.

Bayern was invisible in attack. We’ll have vvd back and they’ll have to do without kimmich. I’ll take it
