Bayern manager Pep Guardiola: "I am quite satisfied. Manchester United has one of the best teams in the world. We scored an away goal which is important, but we also got lucky that efforts from Danny Welbeck and Wayne Rooney did not go in. The goal we conceded was difficult to defend.

"It is always dangerous when you go into the second leg with a 1-1 draw, but even a 2-1 victory would have been dangerous. We will try to win the second leg and I am sure we can do it. I have full confidence in my players and hope the fans in Munich will push us like the United supporters did for their team today."

In tomorrow's other quarter-final, Real Madrid face Borussia Dortmund in a repeat of last season's semi-final with Gareth Bale dominating the headlines in Madrid.

Boss Carlo Ancelotti admitted that Bale can be inconsistent, but defended the player's attitude and claimed that was to be expected given the type of player he is and the position he plays in.

"I think it is true he is a little intermittent, but that is a characteristic of all forwards and especially very quick players," the Italian coach said as his team seek a 10th European Cup success.

"Players with that speed can't have a continuous influence like other players with different characteristics like Xabi Alonso.

"His inconsistency is a physical characteristic of the player, like Cristiano Ronaldo or Karim Benzema. It is not an attitude problem."

Jenni: David Moyes picked the right team, he used the correct approach and made the right substitutions, so let's give him credit where credit is due. He and his players really deserve this result tonight and go into the second leg with a glimmer of hope. Believe.

Pat, Glasgow: It would seem reports of Manchester United's death were slightly exaggerated.

Anon: The fans at Old Trafford were incredible tonight, I think it's a good result in the context of our season, we can be proud tonight!

Bayern Munich midfielder Toni Kroos: "It was a tough game. We were dominant throughout the whole match, but United threw everything at us. They defended with 10 men and were dangerous with counter-attacks.

"We did everything to pass the ball around and find gaps. In the end we highly deserved to score the equaliser and the result is not that bad for us. All options are available to us in the second leg."
