Jeremy Goss’ volley gave Norwich the lead, before Mark Bowen doubled the English side’s advantage.

Christian Nerlinger pulled one back for Bayern, but City left with the first-leg advantage.

In the second leg at Carrow Road, Goss again found the net in a 1-1 draw which saw Norwich progress to the third round, where they were beaten by Inter Milan.

It was a memorable competition for Norwich who were the only English club to beat Bayern at their old ground, the Olympic Stadium, in the more than 30 years the German side played there.
