Erik ten Hag’s side showed heart and commitment against the already qualified Germans but were unable to find the goal that was needed to give us any chance of progressing to the round of 16.
And Kingsley Coman’s second-half strike, combined with FC Copenhagen’s 1-0 win over Galatasaray in the other Group A game, meant that we finished fourth and out of Europe, with the damage done by disappointing earlier results against those teams.
Attention will quickly turn back to domestic matters and a trip to Anfield on Sunday to face Liverpool, where Ten Hag could be without Harry Maguire after the defender was forced off in the first half.
