When the football world casts its eyes at Munich's Allianz Arena in May for the Champions League final, home side Bayern Munich will be mere spectators.
The German giants were felled by Inter Milan at the quarter-final stage 4-3 on aggregate after Wednesday's 2-2 draw at the San Siro.
While Bayern more than matched the Italian champions despite a crippling injury crisis, the manner of the elimination will be most concerning for the German giants.
Bayern were unable to make their dominance of possession and chances count against Inter.
The six-time Champions League winners consider the European stage to be their own but were let down by poor game management in crucial moments across both legs.
