The winner Thomas Müller scored from the penalty spot (22). It was the hundredth victory in the Champions League for Germany’s most successful football club. But probably only because of the strange atmosphere in the empty Khimki Arena is you may remember this evening again -.’s First “ghost game” in the 52-year history of the European Cup Bayern
You could not help it, it was the punishment for the Russian champions CSKA for racist failures of his fans. “Not only because of the lack of fans,” Müller found it a “difficult” game “because of the playing style of the opponent”. An opponent who is holed up in their own stadium so deeply to his own goal, is not it the life-dominant Bayern all day.

If you are lucky the guerrilla tactics of the army club had even borne fruit. For their few but afloat raised countering “the Moscow were always dangerous,” as Müller admitted. In danger of earning victory was yet never, since the Bayern picked up early on the edge they needed.
After a nice pass from Robert Lewandowski idol was brought down upon penetration into the box Mario Fernandes. Nearly then also fell Müller during the execution of the penalty kick, put the ball but masterly movement of the goalkeeper waiting, against the direction of flight high into the net, before his leg gave way easily. “I move with my shooting technique always at the edge of physics, the load on one leg, because I’m easily slipped,” Mueller said after the game. “As long as he’s in it, no matter.”
The Bayern controlled the ball, but were moving, but if they ever get lost in it and the Russians came quickly across the midline, on thin ice. This was mainly due to the clumsiness of the central defender Mehdi Benatia, the opponent repeatedly escaped and players Xabi Alonso in the second half, held therefore a strong tongue-lashing.
In this form, the 26-million-Euro-purchasing, the slightly battered Jerome Boateng represented, to rapid counterattack Player is a security risk. So Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer had to muster all his skill to prevent after 37 minutes the equalizer against Musa, who had appeared before him free after he had Benatia suspended. Twice Neuer was in luck when shooting, which he was powerless afterwards. Only Milanow chased the ball very thinly over the right top corner, then hit the left crossbar Eremenko.
So the mid-term review was as bizarre as the backdrop – a highly superior FC Bayern, which led some happy. The harvest we went but then a sovereign. After the break, some conversions reduced the susceptibility counterattack, but also the joy of playing. So it took more than forty minutes before the Bayern after their big chance to 0: 2 just before the break, one awarded by Götze, seals and Lewandowski counterattack, again could earn two similar occasions. Müller and substitute Xherdan Shaqiri they forgave.
A second goal would have been a waste of football art prior to this dead link. “Actually, we’re in the entertainment industry operates”, Müller found. The atmosphere of this game but have “that for which to play, put a little in question.”
