Manchester City produced a gutsy display to fight back from 2-0 down and earn a stalemate away to Bayern Munich. In addition, a tough first half saw José Barcala’s side take the lead through Giulia Gwinn before a Kerstin Casparij own strike doubled their lead.
Reports also note that but strikes from Beth Mead and Carlotta Wamser saw the visitors take home a hard-earned point. Further context suggests it was always going to be a challenging start for the English champions against a Bayern side who have historically thrived in the league phase of this competition. Further context suggests barcala’s side came into this encounter unbeaten in their last 15 group-stage matches and having made a run to the semi-finals last campaign that, as noted by Gwinn, had left them “even hungrier and eager for more”.
