Bayern Munich 2-1 Valencia.

This makes for some interesting final moments.

Mandzukic finds Lahm on the overlap, but Lahm's dangerous cross is cut out. Bayern really pushing for a third now.
76'
GOAL! 2-0 Bayern. Kroos thumps the ball beyond Alves from 25 yards to score a fantastic goal. Kroos has been threatening that all game.
