<p>Vincent Kompany&rsquo;s heavily-rotated Bayern team lost their first match of the tournament as the German giants struggled to find rhythm ahead of the knockout stages later this week, despite a late attacking effort including a disallowed goal.</p>
<p>Despite the result, Bayern veteran <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/football/article/thomas-mueller-eyes-one-final-title-as-bayern-exit-draws-near-23533179" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><strong>Thomas Muller</strong></a> admitted their performance was far from poor. &ldquo;In the end when the goalkeeper is the man of the match, then you did not do everything wrong,&rdquo; said Muller.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Benfica&rsquo;s Nedim Bejrami was chuffed with the result. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s an important victory. We played a great game, especially in the first half. In the second half, it was obviously more difficult but we knew how to suffer,&rdquo; Bajrami said.</p>
