A difference of millimetres and seconds

This will be a nightmare for Bayern Munich and their fans. Their performance could've earned them a draw at least if not more, but a few moments changed the game for them.

Bayern fans will particularly look back at Yann Sommer's immense presence of mind to reach for the ball as it was about to roll completely over the line. Bayern players were convinced that it had gone over but the goal-line technology showed that Sommer had kept his side in it by millimetres.

If they could get that out of their minds, Javi Martinez who replaced Jerome Boateng in Bayern's backline was only a fraction of a second away from making a superb tackle but Thuram pushed the ball past him and the Spaniard ended up conceding a penalty and getting sent off for his second bookable offence.

Come the end of the season, these may be iconic moments that Bayern fans may look back on and imagine what might have been.
