Xabi Alonso saw his 100th Champions League appearance ended prematurely, although his red card did not cost Bayern Munich as they secured a goalless draw against Shakhtar Donetsk.
The first leg of this last 16 tie was a tetchy affair and one which Pep Guardiola's side managed to get nowhere near the level of performance managed in their 8-0 Bundesliga drubbing of Hamburg at the weekend.
Shakhtar looked rusty - no surprise given they have not played a competitive game since matchday six - and failed to capitalise on Alonso's second-half sending off.
