Bayernâs Champions League comebacks that offer hope
Bayernâs clear goal is to overturn a first-leg result and reach the Champions League final. Itâs simple in theory. However, Vincent Kompanyâs men will need a big performance in the second leg of their semi-final tie against Paris Saint-Germain to come from 5-4 down and knockout the holders to get to Budapest for a 12th European Cup final. But Bayern have done it before. Hereâs some examples of coming from behind to advance from down the yearsâŠ
Power, emotions and a vocal crowd all come together at the Allianz Arena for a magical Champions League night as Bayern looked to overturn a 1-0 first-leg loss to Lazio in the 2023/24 round of 16. âOn behalf of the cityâ was the slogan from the SĂŒdkurve as they got behind the team and pushed them to an impressive 3-0 victory with goals from Harry Kane either side of a Thomas MĂŒller finish to advance to the last 16.
âNever give upâ echoed round the EstĂĄdio do DragĂŁo long into the night of 15 April 2015. Despite a 3-1 defeat in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Porto, the Bayern fans wanted to keep their heads up. Their team had a bad day. One week later, the supporters of the German record champions underlined the message with an impressive and now legendary tifo before the second leg at the Allianz Arena, and the players followed up with action. Pep Guardiolaâs side dazzled in every department, leading 5-0 at half-time and deservedly going through to the semi-finals with a 6-1 win in the end.

Three weeks can be an awfully long time, especially when youâre desperate to make amends for a bad result. In late February 2012, Bayern suffered a 1-0 first-leg defeat at Swiss champions Basel, and their chances of reaching the final at their own stadium were already under threat at the start of the knockout stage. The Munich men were having none of it, though, and produced a blistering attacking display in the second leg. Mario GĂłmez became the first Bayern player to score four times in a Champions League fixture, with Arjen Robben (twice) and MĂŒller also on the scoresheet in a 7-0 drubbing at the Allianz Arena, as Jupp Heynckesâ men delivered the perfect response to the first-leg loss.
After a 3-2 defeat in the first leg at Real Madrid, the Bavarians categorically needed a goal two weeks later in Munich, but no one would've expected it to come as quickly as it did. Straight from Realâs kick-off, Hasan SalihamidĆŸiÄ won the ball and played in Roy Makaay, who made it 1-0 after just 10.12 seconds - still the fastest goal in Champions League history. LĂșcio scored Bayern's second in the 67th minute, and despite a late Ruud van Nistelrooy penalty, Bayern went through to the quarter-finals on away goals.
What do the clashes in the last 16 of the European Cup against Malmo in 1975/76, against Banik Ostrava in 1976/77, against Neuchatel Xamax in 1987/88, and the semi-final against CSKA Sofia in 1981/82 have in common? Thatâs right, Bayern turned around a first-leg defeat, keeping a clean sheet in the return match. After a 2-0 win in the second leg against Malmo, Bayern went on to reach the final, where they beat Saint-Etienne 1-0 thanks to Franz 'Bulle' Rothâs goal as the famous trophy went to Munich for a third year running. They also progressed to the final in 1982 after the 4-0 second-leg win against Sofia, but this time PĂĄl Csernaiâs side - featuring Karl-Heinz Rummenigge up front - lost 1-0 to Aston Villa.
