Bayern hopes hanging by a thread

BAYERN MUNICH’S Champions’ League aspirations hung on a thread last night, despite the German side losing yet again.

Ottmar Hitzfeld’s side went down 2-1 to an AC Milan side who secured their second round participation in the competition in front of their own fans at the San Siro.

But their continued participation in the Champions’ League came courtesy of fellow Group G strugglers Lens, who beat Deportivo La Coruna quite comfortably 3-1.
