Bayern Munich dragged a fantastic victory over Inter Milan (Internazionale) in the Champions League 2011 last 16 first leg clash on Wednesday night.

It was the great football game that has been a credit to the Munich club and a breath of fresh air to the Champions League.

Mario Gomez struck in the final minute goal (90th minute) to give Bayern Munich a deserved 1-0 win late on at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in their Champions League holders Internazionale were finally caught out in a incredibly absorbing clash.

The match emerged set to end in a goalless dead heat before Julio Cesar dropped Arjen Robben’s speculative oblige, allowing Mario Gomez’s last minute close array attempt from Arjen initial gunshot was sufficient to hand the Germans victory to tap home a crucial away goal.

Esteban Cambiasso missed the best chances for Inter Milan, as Samuel Eto’o great efforts draw a blank in front of goal as Bayern goalkeeper Thomas Kraft pulled off several saves.

Inter Milan are currently third in the Serie A with 50 points, 5 points behind the leader AC Milan and the Bayern Munich team recovered from that current phase.

Bayern Munich side will start the second leg and will now be considered huge favorites to progress to the quarter-finals in the driver’s seat. Inter Milan needed to score at least twice in the second leg at the Allianz Arena on March 15.
