Vincent Kompany’s men dominated large spells of the game and deservedly went in front through Olise’s stunning strike just before half-time. Shortly after the break, Kane made it 2-0 with a back post volley from a corner as Celtic looked to be out of the tie.

But Maeda’s close range header late on kept them in it. Manuel Neuer’s injury time save from Alistair Johnston denied the Hoops an equaliser - which could have been crucial ahead of the second-leg against the Bundesliga giants.
