A slight communication error in Bayern's defence and Yaya Touré marched through a gaping gap on his way to goal. Jérôme Boateng tried to tackle him, but arrived slightly late. The consequence was a red card for the Munich defender. “I had to go for it,” he commented after the match. And true enough, he had to. If Touré had scored in the 86th minute, it would have given Manchester City renewed vigour and realistic hopes of an unlikely comeback. As it was, Bayern lost a valuable player, but secured a 3-1 victory. “We're a team and fight for each other, and sometimes sacrifices have to be made, so I'll gladly take this one,” Boateng continued.
