Wasteful Bayern held by Juventus

Ribery provided the highlight of the match when he slipped craftily between two defenders in the penalty area but dinked his shot over the crossbar in the 19th minute.

Juventus also had their chances in an entertaining first half but the match went off the boil after the break.

"We'll have the diagnosis of Robben's injury tomorrow but he said he thinks it's bad," the Dutchman told reporters.

He added: "We created a lot of chances and it's very disappointing that we didn't win. Juventus just had a few shots from distance."

Bayern left Mario Gomez, the Bundesliga's most expensive signing, on the bench but made a lively start with Ribery and Robben causing Juventus problems down the flanks.

Miroslav Klose wasted one chance when he failed to make proper contact with Philipp Lamm's cross from the right and was close with another header before both he and Ribery squandered good opportunities on the break.

Mauro Camoranesi had Juve's best effort when his low drive was tipped away by Hans-Joerg Butt.
