Basel stuns Bayern Munich

FC Basel boosted its chance of a place in the Champions League quarterfinals with a shock 1-0 win over Bayern Munich in its last-16 first-leg tie on Wednesday.

Having beaten Manchester United 2-1 in Basel last December, the host pulled off another stunning victory when midfielder Valentin Stocker found the target in the 86th minute having been left unmarked by the Munich defence.

"It was a very difficult game, Bayern made us run a lot," said Basel goalkeeper Yann Sommer. "We have beaten two of the best teams in the world here now - Manchester United, from who we took four points in total, and Bayern which is unbelievable for a Swiss team. But we are a good side and we believe in ourselves so I don't think Bayern under estimated us."
