Bayern Munich needed a late Thomas Mueller goal to come from behind and seal a 1-1 draw at ten-man Valencia on Tuesday which put both teams in the Champions League\'s knock-out phase. After Lille\'s 2-0 win at BATE Borisov in Belarus earlier, both teams are now guaranteed passage into the knock-out phase and are level on 10 points at the top of Group F after the draw at Estadi de Mestalla. With BATE third in the group on six points, neither team can now be denied a place in the last 16. Midfielder Sofiane Feghouli had put Valencia ahead with time running out, but Bayern held their nerve as Germany midfielder Mueller netted the equaliser. The draw in Valencia means the final round of matches in a fortnight are just for pride when Bayern host BATE in Munich and Valencia are at Lille. Valencia were reduced to ten men after only 33 minutes when defender Antonio Barragan, who had brought down France\'s Franck Ribery on 20 minutes, slid into Bayern\'s David Alaba and earned an immediate red card from referee Howard Webb. Bayern, who are bidding to reach their third Champions League final in four years at Wembley next May, enjoyed the lion\'s share of possession, with 65 percent, and created 17 shots on goal compared to Valencia\'s nine. Despite the numerical deficit, the hosts took the lead with just over 15 minutes left when Feghouli cut in from the right wing and fired home from the edge of the area.
