Every match has its own narrative and the sequence in which things happen sometimes matters more than the result. At least that was the impression after Bayern's 2-2 draw away to Juventus.
"I complimented [Juventus coach Max] Allegri on a tremendous performance from Juve," said Bayern boss Pep Guardiola. "This is one of the most special days of my career... to come here and play like that. We played a very good game."
And Allegri? "In general, we played a really good game, we could have won it tonight," he said. "This game must give us confidence that we can take on one of the best teams in the world and handle it, that we can deal with one-on-one situations, especially at the back.
