The result leaves it all to play for in the second leg in Munich on March 13, although the German side will be without defender Joshua Kimmich who will be suspended after picking up a yellow card.
There were few clear-cut chances although Liverpool created several openings in the first half, while at the other end their goalkeeper Alisson Becker had to be alert to keep out a mis-hit clearance from Joel Matip.
The
closest Jurgen Klopp's side came in the second half was a diving header
from Sadio Mane in the 86th minute which Manuel Neuer pushed around the
post.

"You're playing an experienced team. They’ve been here and done it
for five or six years," said Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson.
"We've
kept a clean sheet, could’ve scored a couple of goals but the tie is
well and truly alive. If we score there it's crucial."It was a similar story in France where Barcelona were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw at Lyon as both sides remained undefeated in this season's competiton.
The
La Liga leaders dominated the match at the Groupama Stadium but lacked
accuracy up front and were grateful to their goalkeeper Marc Andre ter
Stegen who made two great saves.
Lyon
were lively in the first half but ran out of steam after the break and
were holding on in the closing stages as Lionel Messi tried in vain to
open up the home defence."We could have done better in the first half and converted our chances but we did not concede a goal so our chances are intact," said Lyon defender Leo Dubois.
