Bayern Munich will have hoped to build an unassailable advantage when going 2-0 up just after halftime, but instead were forced to hang on as Celtic came up just short in a late comeback bid.

Teams placed between ninth and 24th in the standings are fighting for survival, with decisive second-leg clashes set to take place next week.

Bayern Munich rode on goals from Michael Olise and Harry Kane to beat Celtic in the fist leg of the UEFA Champions League knockout stage playoffs. In other games Monaco lost to Benfica whereas Feyenoord beat AC Milan.
