Bayern gained small revenge for the defeat in last season’s Champions League final as Mario Gomez fired a last minute winner against Inter.
Van Gaal said: “It was an absorbing game and, in the end, we deserved to win. I had hoped we could decide the game earlier as Inter began to tire but we squandered our chances. It was a big step towards the quarter-finals but Inter are a very good team, as we saw today.”
