BAYERN MUNICH clinched a controversial win over 10-man Fiorentina at the Allianz Arena last night to give them a slender advantage going into the second leg of their Champions League tie in Italy in a fortnight’s time.

LIVERPOOL captain Steven Gerrard reflected on his team’s Champions League campaign and admitted it had been “not good enough” after the Reds’ involvement in the competition finished with a 2-1 home defeat to Fiorentina at Anfield last night.

LIVERPOOL manager Rafael Benitez conceded his side’s first-half performance left them with too much as his side went down in Florence last night.
