Nedved nails Bayern as Owen goal enough for Madrid

A late goal from European Footballer of the Year Pavel Nedved gave Juventus a 1-0 win over Bayern Munich last night to put the Italians in command of Champions League Group C.

Zlatan Ibrahmovic headed a long ball from Lilian Thuram into the path of the Czech midfielder in the 76th minute and Nedved confidently fired past Bayern keeper Oliver Kahn.

The result gives Juventus a maximum nine points from three games and moves them close to qualification while Bayern are now three points behind after their first defeat.
