Manchester United vs. Bayern Munich

Manchester United 3 - 2 Bayern Munich: From a seemingly impregnable position, three goals ahead of Bayern Munich on the night and two in front on aggregate, the Red Devils' world collapsed in a six-minute spell either side of the interval. First-leg match-winner Ivica Olic pulled a goal back immediately before the break after Nani had followed up Darron Gibson's early opener by scoring two of his own. The goal put doubt in United minds that turned into panic once Rafael had been sent off for a second bookable offence shortly after the restart. United tried desperately to hang on.But just as the thought started to ferment that they might manage it, Robben escaped to the far post and rocketed a volley beyond Edwin van der Sar after fellow winger Franck Ribery had dropped a perfect corner into his path.
