Xabi Alonso saw red in his 100th Champions
League game as Bayern Munich suffered a frustrating 0-0 draw in the
first leg of their round of 16 clash against Shakhtar Donetsk.
Pep
Guardiola’s men saw plenty of possession but they had nothing to show
after 90 minutes in Lviv as Bastian Schweinsteiger, Arjen Robben and
Thomas Muller all wasted excellent chances.
However, the German
champions’ task became much harder after Alonso was shown two yellow
cards for challenges on Alex Teixeira either side of the break.
Bayern threw on Robert Lewandowski as they tried to find an important
away goal but Mircea Lucescu’s side held on for a valuable draw to take
to the Allianz Arena for the second leg next month.
