Bayern has tricky job against Shakhtar in Champions League

MUNICH (AP) — The only time Bayern Munich went out of a European competition after drawing the first leg away 0-0 was in 1981 against Liverpool, which advanced with a 1-1 draw in Munich.

The other five times, the Bavarians went through and they hope to do it again on Wednesday against Shakhtar Donetsk. Bayern only managed a 0-0 draw in Ukraine and will have to be wary of Shakhtar's counterattack. The Ukrainian team will go through with any draw other than 0-0.
Here are some things to know about Wednesday's match:

BAYERN'S VULNERABILITY

If Pep Guardiola's team has one weak link it is defending against counterattacks.
Guardiola's lateral defenders often move into the midfield to give his team an advantage there. But that can make the back vulnerable to counterattacks, as demonstrated by Real Madrid in last season's 4-0 semifinal win in Munich.
"Their forwards are as fast as the wind," Bayern director Matthias Sammer said of Donetsk. "We are ready but we are also modest and we know that we are facing a dangerous opponent."
