Manchester-United-1-Bayern-Munich-1-Champions-League

Although Schweinsteiger scored the vital equalizer for Bayern. However, he did not even in the Champions League quarter-finals by Manchester United in full swing. The lock for the second leg is also a setback.

They came fearing a rout, a Champions League humbling to cast Manchester United into European oblivion, but as Bayern Munich’s players trudged off the pitch shaking their heads and remonstrating with the referee, Old Trafford was filled with renewed belief.

The stands at Old Trafford had already emptied when suddenly losknatterten the lawn mower. Six men run after the 1-1 draw between Manchester United and Bayern Munich in the quarter-final first leg of the Champions League actually Green Care. As a noisy caravan they went by 22 clock local time on the pitch.

The few thousand Bayern fans clapped ironic, as the squad approached them. In the Munich Arena as a scene would be impossible for there heat after evening games high-tech spotlight battered grass. A few minutes earlier, however, more than 70,000 English fans had made ​​fun of a German who dismayed at the field trotted towards cabin and later wordlessly through a rear exit in the bus disappeared: Bastian Schweinsteiger.

The German national was in the 66th Minutes become the hero of his team, he had shot to 1:1 is so important away goal. But just before the end came to the heroism added tragedy. After a duel with Wayne Rooney, which the referee interpreted as a challenge, Schweinsteiger saw the yellow card. As he walked past the exit Rooney, the 29-year-old just shook his head and took his index finger in the direction of an unequivocal “This was nothing” gesture. But even if Schweinsteiger Rooney has not taken: The Tackling was awkward, especially at this time.

Now he is locked in the return game. Ironically, the so long injured German national , for whom this season was always a struggle with his body. Even Rooney, his old companion on the international stage later a little sorry for Schweinsteiger seemed to have: “I think it is a foul, even if it’s not nice to go from place to see a player and he is a great player.. “said Manchester’s offensive player in the first half.

Maybe, just maybe, mission impossible has become a fraction more achievable for United in Bavaria.

They will need Vidic and Rio Ferdinand to roll back the years as they did here and also hope Danny Welbeck can find his shooting boots, but they will travel to Munich with hopes alive in a game that was supposed to be a dead rubber.

With United going into this game as 6-1 outsiders, there was little expectancy outside of Old Trafford that Moyes’s team could land a blow on Bayern, let alone beat them.

In a modern game dominated by statistics, each one added weight to the bookmakers’ belief that this Champions League quarter-final was a no-contest.

Guardiola’s team had scored in each of their last sixty games – netting two or more goals in 24 of their last 25 games – and they arrived in Manchester having won 17 successive away games outside of Munich.

Nobody of a United persuasion needed reminding of the more negative numbers posted by their team this season, so from the outset, it appeared as though they Moyes was planning a rearguard action.

His starting eleven, with Marouane Fellaini preferred ahead of the more creative Shinji Kagawa, emphasised the requirement for Roundheads over cavaliers.

The approach and selection may have jarred with United’s tradition and raison d’être in Europe, but it was a case of needs must.

Even Sir Alex Ferguson applied the handbrake at times against more technically-gifted opponents – United’s 2008 semi-final triumph against Barcelona was earned by perspiration rather than inspiration.

Schweinsteiger played properly against Manchester, but by no means outstanding. He often rotated with Philipp Lahm, who was playing at his side, sometimes he conducted the players. And he steered a lot, plowed, especially in the second half. At the end he had the most ball contacts of all Bayern players. One has the impression that he is slowly coming back into form – also on view, perhaps before his last World Cup.

Schweinsteiger was in Manchester but also shade. He was very unobtrusive in the first half, its many ball contacts were rarely spectacular. The strategist was no strategy to break Manchester’s strong, vielbeinige defensive, very rarely he tried opening a pass. Instead: a lot of cross-attachment, play displacements little extra space. And he lacked the courage to push himself once in the box.

Only once did he dare all the way forward, the consequence was his goal to 1:1, wonderful launched on head by Mario Mandzukic. “Against that we have played almost handball in the first half at times., But the final pass was not there,” Thomas Müller said. This applies to the offensive player Franck Ribery, Arjen Robben, Toni Kroos and Müller itself but also for Lahm and Schweinsteiger, both of which have the ability to play such a passport. “We know that we have to think of something to come to clear scoring chances,” Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.

Also for the Munich defensive Schweinsteiger was a symbol . If Manchester based his attacks slowly , he had no problem with Ryan Giggs and the other opponents . But whenever United showed his dreaded quick counterattack , Schweinsteiger could hardly follow them. He still lacks match practice and also the timing for the right moment. After all, with his goal he has proved it .

Just as the yellow locked Javier Martínez and the longer injured Thiago missing Schweinsteiger Bayern in the second leg . Toni Kroos is expected to move to its position. Also possible that Bayern coach Josep Guardiola can play a 4 -1-4 -1 system instead of the 4-2-3-1 used in Manchester . He would then represent only Lahm on the Six, the Bavarians would, however, more vulnerable to counterattack.

Defender Jerome Boateng got the return match against Manchester next Wednesday (20.45 clock , live ticker  in any case ever to character test . “Then we must show that we are a great team . ” Even without their leader prevented .
