Carlotta Wamser, who just joined City from Bayer Leverkusen, completed the comeback with a shot from inside the area in the 86th for her first Champions League goal.“It feels very special. It’s a dream as a kid to play in the Champions League and play against the best players in the world," Wamser said, according to UEFA.com.Forward Khadija Shaw missed a 62nd-minute penalty kick for City, which became the first English team not to lose away to Bayern in Europe.“We lost intensity a bit in the second half and made too many mistakes and too easy mistakes, and at this level it goes against you, so we have to learn from it,” Bayern midfielder Linda Dallmann said.

“We had the chances, especially at the end, we had two big chances. But it’s our fault, we have to work on that.”City made it to the quarterfinals two seasons ago, being eliminated by Chelsea, but didn't qualify for the European tournament last season.“We want to show what we’re about in Europe," Mead said. "We showed that in the second half here, now we need to do it for 90 minutes.

Obviously it’s a very different competition compared to domestic football. Hopefully we can get up to speed quickly and show what we’re about against Madrid (in the next game).”It made it back after its first year under coach Andrée Jeglertz, who helped the team end Chelsea’s dominance of the Women’s Super League to claim its first league title in a decade.
