Bayern Munich 1-1 Celtic (agg: 3-2): Champions League playoff ...

That’s all for tonight. Thanks as always for your company and emails – goodnight.

It’s not what the players deserved, especially right at the very end. They gave so much to the game; they played with confidence. We knew we’d have to defend b ut we didn’t give away too much – our concentration was good and we denied them space. But then we had quality on the ball and actually had the best chances. It was a really heroic performance and such a cruel way to go out of the competition.

We wanted to make a fast start to the game. It was important we didn’t give away much. We had to have aggression and control without the ball. And then just take the ball, try and build and get through the pitch. We got into some great positions and had two big chances.

In the last 30 minutes at Celtic Park, I felt Maeda’s speed on the press unnerved them. Then when he goes it allows everyone else to be there together. There were other moments where we couldn’t press and we had to be compact and tight.

I think our European credibility has been restored. That’s my takeaway from this season. You think of the last time we were in Germany [when they lost 7-1 to Dortmund] and the improvements we’ve made since then.

I think we’ve found a nice template without the ball. Hopefully next season we can improve the squad again, to be able to bring quality of the bench and have that freshness. But this season has been so good – we’ve played some amazing football, we’ve had adverse moments but recovered. My objective is to make us a seasoned team at this level.

[What did you say to the players?] I said to them that I came back to this club to make progress in Europe. And if I judge that on tonight, they’ve given me everything. Now our job is to learn from the experiences we’ve had, finish our season really well and get back in the Champions League next season.

Ewan Murray’s match report

This performance ranks among the finest by a Scottish team away from home in Europe in living memory.

Callum McGregor’s reaction

It’s one of the cruellest nights in a Celtic shirt. I’m so, so proud of the players, the way they played and handled themselves. We come off the pitch with no regrets.

[Was there a foul on Adam Idah just before the goal?] We don’t want to use that as an excuse. The boys gave an unbelievable effort and I want to focus on that. It’s a real, real sore one but I think we can be proud of ourselves.

The template for the game was perfect – they were getting frustrated, shooting from outside the box and trying things. Even if we had to go to extra-time, we fancied ourselves.

There’s been a lot of growth as a team. We have to build on it because I think anyone watching that game tonight saw a really good Celtic team.

Bayern’s dream of becoming the first team in 60 years to win the European Cup on their home ground are still alive. The last team to do so were Inter Milan back in 1964-65.

• AC Milan 1-1 Feyenoord (agg: 1-2)

• Atalanta 1-3 Club Brugge (agg: 2-5)

• Bayern Munich 1-1 Celtic (agg: 3-2)

• Benfica 3-3 Monaco (agg: 4-3)

The draw for the last 16 is on Friday. Feyenoord will play Internazionale or Arsenal; Club Brugge will be up against Lille or Aston Villa; Bayern will meet Leverkusen or Atletico Madrid; and Benfica’s reward for that madcap draw is a game against Barcelona or Liverpool.

There was barely time to kick off before the final whistle was blown. I’d need to see the goal again but I don’t think any blame sould be attached to Carter-Vickers. He was trying desperately to get the ball away from goal but Davies was on him in a flash. It was a block tackle from Davies, essentially, so whether Carter-Vickers knew he was there or not didn’t change the outcome.

When the dust settles, Celtic will reflect on this game with enormous pride. For now there is only desolation.

Alphonso Davies has won the tie for Bayern with 30 seconds to go. Olise’s glorious inswinging cross was met six yards from goal by Goretzka, whose stooping header was brilliantly saved to his left by Schmeichel. The ball ran loose in front of goal, and Carter-Vickers’ attempted clearance hit Davies and ricocheted in the net.

Late Heartbreak.

90+3 min Coman’s shot is well blocked by Johnston. Celtic are out on their feet.

90+3 min And yet, for all that pressure, Bayern haven’t created a load of clear chances. Coman overhits a cross into the arms of Schmeichel.

90+2 min Celtic desperately need to hear the full-time whistle; it’s been one-way traffic for the last 15 minutes or so.

90 min There will be four minutes of added time. Schmeichel, who has kept with such authority and assurance, holds another deflected long-range shot.

89 min Bayern continue to trust the process: it’s certainly more tiki-taka than Ramba-Zamba-Fußbal. You’d still expect their class and experience to tell, but my word few of us expected this.

87 min One corner leads to another, this time on the right. Kimmich takes, Stanisic heads over.

86 min Coman wins another corner for Bayern on the left, and for the first time all night it feels like Celtic are struggling to get out. This reeks of Late Heartbreak.

Meanwhile, it’s now Benfica 3-3 Monaco (agg: 4-3).

85 min “I dunno,” says Gene Salorio. “A Leverkusen-Dortmund final at the Allianz would be hella fun for both clubs’ fans.”

84 min Kimmich’s corner is half cleared to Davies, whose piledrive from 30 yards is headed away by Idah on the edge of the area.

83 min Bayern win a corner on the left. Monaco are back in front in Lisbon: 3-2 on the night, 3-3 on aggregate.

82 min “As another Engels said, ‘An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory’,” says Paul Griffin. “I think he was a left-winger though.”

80 min For a neutral, this is great fun. For Bayern and Celtic fans, I suspect, not so much. It’s simply unthinkable for Bayern to go at this stage, even more so when the final is to be played on this ground.

79 min Olise’s free-kick hits the wall. Kimmich’s fierce follow-up takes a nasty deflection and is well saved by Schmeichel, flying to to his right to push it away. It was a bit theatrical but he did well to react so quickly to the deflection.

Benfica have equalised on the night against Monaco: 2-2 in Lisbon, 3-2 on aggregate. Club Brugge still lead Atalanta 5-2 on aggregate.

77 min Olise is fouled 25 yards from goal by Engels. He’s playing as a false nine now, with Sane – who has made a difference – on the right.

76 min: Another chance for Bayern! Sane plays a lovely give-and-go with Musiala on the edge of the area, shifts the ball away from Carter-Vickers and curls this far wide with Schmeichel rooted to the spot.

76 min Coman works the space neatly on the left only to overhit his cross. But these are dangerous moments for Celtic, who are starting to defend on the seat of their pants.

75 min Just in case you’ve been asleep for the last five years, there’s no away goals rule so as things stand there will be extra-time.

74 min: Chance for Goretzka! Moments after Olise has a penalty appeal turned down, Goretka’s diving header curls just wide of the left-hand post. It was a lovely ball in, I think from Kimmich.

71 min Sane, on the right, guides a gorgeous ball right across the six-yard box and behind for a goalkick. Harry Kane would probably have gobbled that up.

70 min: Chance for Celtic! This is extraordinary stuff – Celtic could be 6-0 up ahead in the tie! Engels crosses from the right towards Maeda, who gets in front of Stanisic but can only head straight at Neuer as he stoops forward. Not the easiest chance as the ball bounced up, especially when you’ve already run about 25 miles in the game.

69 min: Celtic substitution Kuhn is down and needs treatment. In fact his race is run; Hyunjun Yang replaces him.

67 min Coman cuts inside from the left and works the space for a stinging long-range shot that is well held by Schmeichel.

66 min Nicolas Kuhn spent two years in the third tier with Bayern’s second team before moving on. And I’m very pleased to report there was none of that ostentatious non-celebration nonsense; he punched the air with the kind of euphoria most of us will never know.

65 min: Double substitution for Bayern Leroy Sane and Alphonso Davies replaces Serge Gnabry and Raphael Guerreiro.

The goal came from Daizen Maeda’s pressing; of course it did. He forced a loose square pass from Stanisic, chased the ball himself and slipped an angled pass through to Kuhn. He rode a frankly woolly challenge from Kim on the edge of the area and calmly passed the ball under the outrushing Neuer. Wow.
