UEFA Champions League 2018-19: 3 reasons why Liverpool were held to a 0-0 draw by Bayern Munich

#3. Liverpool not clinical enough-

Sadio Mane spurned a golden chance in the first half

Liverpool dominated the first half and it looked like Bayern had come for a draw. All elements which have defined Klopp’s reign in Liverpool were present, the high energy play, overlapping runs, control in midfield. But what missed was the most important aspect - goal scoring.

Liverpool had 15 scoring chances out of which they had only 2 shots on target. Salah missed a header from Arnold’s cross and had difficulty in controlling a through ball by Henderson. But what will frustrate Liverpool will be the 10-yard miss by Sane from a ricocheted shot by Keita. It was difficult as he was not expecting the ball to come to him.

Joel Matip had a chance to volley in the second half but it was too much to ask from a centre back. Liverpool never really had that extra time to shoot which they very often have and they have to find their scoring boots again to progress into the quarterfinals.
