Thomas Müller came off the bench to win and convert a late penalty for Bayern Munich as they held Atletico Madrid to a 1-1 draw on Tuesday, preventing the Spanish side from booking their place in the knockout stages.

Atletico Madrid 1-1 Bayern Munich
Goals: 1-0 Joao Felix (26'), 1-1 Müller (pen. 86')

Bayern were already guaranteed their spot in the Last 16 as Group A winners, meaning coach Hansi Flick had the luxury of rotating his squad at the Wanda Metropolitano: Robert Lewandowski, Manuel Neuer and Leon Goretzka were rested, with Müller, Serge Gnabry, Kingsley Coman and Benjamin Pavard on the bench. A much-changed line-up - including teenagers Jamal Musiala and Bright Arrey-Mbi - rather struggled to find their rhythm in the early stages, although Leroy Sane should have done better than blast over the bar after neat work from Douglas Costa. Atletico soon took control of proceedings and went ahead midway through the half, when Joao Felix stabbed home Marcos Llorente's cross at the near post. Musiala almost drilled in a world-class effort from outside the area after ghosting past Mario Hermoso, but the home side continued to enjoy the lion's share of the chances, and could have increased their lead by the break.

Diego Simeone's men picked up where they left off in the second half, with Felix and Yannick Carrasco going close, although Lucas Hernandez almost brought Bayern level against his former club, heading over from a corner. Flick made a triple substitution just after the hour mark, bringing on Müller, Gnabry and Chris Richards, and the tide soon began to turn in the visitors' favour. Müller went close on 74 minutes when Gnabry scooped a ball into the Atletico area, but home keeper Jan Oblak was able to clear the danger. With five minutes of normal time remaining, however, the Bayern No.25 was brought down inside by the area by substitute Felipe and the referee awarded a penalty. Müller dusted himself off and slammed it home, meaning that the reigning European champions remain unbeaten in this competition since a 3-1 loss to Liverpool in March 2019.

Match stats

• Bayern's 15-match winning run in the Champions League came to an end. The holders have only lost one of their last 26 European fixtures (W20, D5).
• Alaba made his 400th competitive outing for Bayern, while Arrey-Mbi made his senior debut for the club.
• Müller scored his 47th Champions League goal. That puts him one ahead of Filippo Inzaghi on the all-time list, and one behind Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Andriy Shevchenko.
• Hernandez played more than 100 games with Atletico - winning a UEFA Europa League and UEFA Super Cup along the way - before moving to the Allianz Arena last summer.
• Lewandowski scored his third Champions League goal of the season last time out to move level third in the competition’s all-time charts on 71 goals. Only Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are ahead of him.
