Georgia Stanway's last-gasp own goal against Paris-Saint Germain saw Bayern Munich dumped out of the Women's Champions League on Tuesday night, marking the first time in UWCL history that no German side will reach the quarter-final stages.
It was heartbreak for the Lionesses star as her unfortunate intervention saw the Germain giants suffer a 2-2 draw with PSG in their final UWCL group stage match.
Drawn into an unenviable group featuring PSG, Roma and Ajax, Bayern went into their Tuesday encounter knowing that only victory would ensure them passage to the knockout stages. And things seemed to be going in the hosts favour as Giulia Gwinn's strike earned Bayern a first-half lead.
But PSG striker Tabitha Chawinga's equaliser late into the second-half left Bayern searching for a winner. The winner appeared to arrive two minutes later as Bayern midfielder Sydney Lohmann restored the lead, sending the hosts and their fans into fits of frenzy.
But it wasn't meant to be as Stanway's intervention heartbreakingly saw her turn the ball into her own net just two minutes from time.
The drama would not end there as Jovana Damnjanovic thought she had rescued the Bavarians' hopes in the final minute, even celebrating with an emphatic knee slide only for the goal to be disallowed due to her being ruled offside.
Tuesday evening's draw means Bayern, who were knocked out of the Champions League quarter-finals last season by Arsenal, exited the tournament having finished third in their group behind PSG and Ajax.
Stanway joined Bayern in the summer of 2022 and helped her team to a fifth Women's Bundesliga title on the final day of the season.
With last year's finalists Wolfsburg knocked out in the qualifying stages by Paris FC and Eintracht Frankfurt unable to progress from Group A, Bayern's departure means there will be no German sides in the last eight for the first time in the competition's history.
Chelsea are the only English team still competing in Europe. The Blues, who clinched their group with a game to spare, join PSG and Ajax in the quarter-finals, along with Hacken, Lyon, SK Brann, SL Benfica and reigning European champions Barcelona.
The quarter-final draw is set to take place on 6 February. Chelsea, who have yet to win a Champions League title under manager Emma Hayes, could face Ajax, Brann or Benfica.
