This game was hyped up as the tie of the week/round but never really lived up to the expectations.
Getting a point at Munich isnt a bad result though. But it leaves a bitter taste in the mouth when Bordeaux scored the winner 7 minutes from time in the other game in this group.
It looked like Ciro really played for a draw today, maybe in the first half we where looking for the goal, but ever since Diego was substituted for Poulsen, it was evident we looked for a point. Which imo is slightly disappointing. This game could have gone both ways. Of course its possible that Diego wasnt fit enough to play 90 minutes, but with him off we had even less creativity.
I would have liked to see DP coming on (after Diego was off). And i didnt understand why didnt Ciro bring him on. We have seen in the past how he brings the goods in CL ties. And it def felt we where missing that something special, that sparkle.
Iaquinta was selfish in his chances. There was this chance where if he had given the ball to Trez, we might have scored, but he decided, after winning the ball, to go for the glory himself and failed with the shot.
Of course its possible, DP was never fit enough, but why was he listed in the bench then?
I think now best we can do is get 2nd spot in this group. I think we should root for Bayern to do double over Bordeaux? Cause then we will have better chances and as we play Bayern in the last round at home, Bayern could give us the game if they are already sure of being group winners.
Its still of course wide open, but those 2 ties between Bayern and Bordeaux will show the truth of Bordeaux destiny imo. And if we win 2 games against the minnows and Bayern does a double, we could have a easier game in france, and then the Bayern game at home.
