Bayer Leverkusen got away with a robbery. Bayern Munich were denied two clear goals, had Jackson and Diaz sent off, and still managed to come away from the Bay Arena with a point. It was an incredible display of grit from Vincent Kompany's men, one which will serve the team well in important games to come.
