At 3: 45 Beijing time on February 18 (local time in Ukraine on June 17 at 2: 45), Bayern drew 0-0 with Donetsk miners in the first leg of the Champions League final, and only won 1 in the last six Champions League knockout matches (3 draws and 2 losses). Alonso ended the Champions League with two yellow cards for 100 games. In addition, each side got 6 yellow cards (3 each, excluding 2 Alonso).
This is the first official match between the two teams. Bayern tied Real Madrid's record (68 games) in the Champions League knockout. The last time it met a Ukrainian team in the Champions League was in the season of 1999-2000 (the second stage group match lost to Dynamo Kiev 0-2). Lewandowski didn't start, Muller was the shadow striker, and Ribelli started for the first time after his injury, forming an attack group with Gotze and Robben. Alonso recovered from a thigh injury and became the 25th player to reach the Champions League 100 match, with Spain having the largest number of players (7 players), followed by England with 6 players. Boateng, who was suspended from the league last weekend, also returned to the starting lineup.
Miners in Donetsk haven't played a formal game for 10 weeks, and the Champions League is unbeaten against Germany (2 draws and 2 losses), and they have failed to score in the last three games. Due to the current situation in Ukraine, the team's Champions League home is still located in Lviv. Six Brazilian players started, only less than the Champions League knockout record1(on March 8, 2006, Japan's Fica visited Liverpool and seven Brazilian players started).

Rafinha blocked the opponent's free kick and was given a yellow card warning. Then Alonso shoveled teixeira, Bayern protested Srna's previous foul, boateng and Srna pushed him, and Alonso was shown a yellow card, which was his 29th Champions League, tied Gattuso, second only to Scholes (36).
Bayern created an opportunity in the 3rd1minute. Muller fought for the top in the frontcourt, and Ribelli made a selfless cross on the left side of the penalty area. Muller was not suppressed by anyone and grabbed the penalty spot higher. After that, Muller kicked Shevchenko's head with his leg, and the latter was scratched by the spike on his head and bandaged on the sidelines. In the 38th minute, Srna got a yellow card after being destroyed by Ribelli.
In the first half, Bayern's possession rate reached 74.6%, but in the face of the home team with the first defense, it didn't do much, only 1 shot was right. In the second half, the miners did not retreat but advanced, which strengthened the fight in the middle and front court. In the 55th minute, Ribelli was put down by Srna, and Douglas Costa accused Ribelli of falling to the ground easily. Ribelli did not show weakness. The two sides clashed on the sideline, and Srna calmed the situation. Douglas Costa then covered the ball with his back, elbowed Ribelli in the face and got a yellow card warning.
Alonso shoveled Luis Adriano and was trampled on his knee. Both of them were lying on the ground with painful expressions, but fortunately there was no serious problem. Bayern suffered a blow in the 65th minute. Alonso pushed teixeira behind him and got the second yellow card and was sent off! He also became the first player to play in the Champions League and was sent off 100 times. Before that, he only received 1 red card (Real Madrid 20 10+0 1 against Ajax), during which 180 formal appearances were not sent off. The last Bayern player sent off in the Champions League knockout round was Ribelli (20 10 away game against Lyon). Bayern's Champions League red card reached 16, which tied Galatasaray, only less than Inter Milan (17) and Juventus (20).
Guardiola had to replace Muller with Bud Stuber and play at 4-back. Budd Stuber partnered boateng as the central defender, beernaert defended the left, and Alaba and Piggy formed a double defender. Then Levan replaced Gotze. Fredra delayed Ribelli and got a yellow card. Marlowe replaced Douglas Costa. Boateng tackles Tai Sen and gets a yellow card. In the 83rd minute, Robben shot from the right and Rakitski blocked it. He complained about the opponent's handball, but malenko didn't interrupt the game. Nem replaced Tai Sen, then was put down by Pidgei, and Spanish referee malenko showed his eighth yellow card. In stoppage time 1 minute, Ribelli kicked Nem in the back and clashed with the other side again. Srna took him away. The two sides finally handed each other a blank sheet of paper.
