Bayern Munich is on the brink of securing another Champions League round of 16 appearance following their hard-fought 2-1 victory over Celtic in Glasgow. With their superior squad depth and experience, the German giants are expected to finish the job at the Allianz Arena.
When are the UEFA Champions League play-off second leg?
Bayern Munich will welcome Celtic to the Allianz Arena on Tuesday, February 18, 2025, for a pivotal UEFA Champions League play-off—Second-Leg showdown, kicking off at 21:00 CET.
Harry Kane, who found the net in the first leg, remains Bayern’s main threat as he looks to continue his outstanding scoring form. Jamal Musiala and Leroy Sané will also be pivotal in ensuring the Bundesliga powerhouse maintains control of the tie.
Vincent Kompani’s Bayern are comfortably sitting at the top of the Bundesliga table with 8 points lead after they played a draw against the second place, Leverkusen in their last league match. Considering their current form, this will be a match one would expect Bayern to properly hammer Celtic like they mostly do in European nights of football.
