Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer said his late Champions League semi-final howler against Real Madrid was “extremely bitter” as his side were knocked out of the tournament. 

With just two minutes remaining, Bayern were leading 1-0 thanks to a 68th-minute strike from Alphonso Davies, the Canadian’s first Champions League goal, and seemingly on course to meet rivals Borussia Dortmund in the final at Wembley.
