MANCHESTER, April 2 – Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola showed flashes of frustration after the defending champions were held 1-1 at Manchester United in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.
Bastian Schweinsteiger cancelled out Nemanja Vidic’s opener in Tuesday’s game to put Bayern in control of the tie, but the Bayern midfielder was then sent off, ruling him out of next week’s return leg.
