Live updates, highlights and commentary between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid

51st minute: Sane gains more possession and Madrid can attack. Kroos shoots and it's a good save from Neuer, especially since it looked like there was a slight deflection in the game.

Kick-off: 2nd half

We're back on the road and there's a change at Bayern: Guerreiro comes in for Goretzka.

Halftime

Kane heads the ball clear at the near post and that's a first-half oddity. Madrid had to weather an initial storm, but then Vinicius Jr. took the lead and things went relatively smoothly from then on.

45th minute: Just a three-man wall that makes Rodrygo's eyes light up. Nevertheless, he hits his shot against Kane on the edge of the wall in question. Corner, Bayern make it, but Laimer concedes another one.

43rd minute: A shot from Valverde, Bellingham is the goal side of Mazraoui, who knocks it down on the edge of the penalty area.

42nd minute: Kane hits a punch over the wall, catches it well but misses.

40th minute: Oh, well they have a chance now because Nacho Musiala fouled right on the edge of the D.

39th minute: Müller hits a back pass into Sane's feet in the Madrid penalty area, but he can't get it under control. Bayern have hardly achieved anything noteworthy since falling behind.

35th minute: Neuer pushes through a crowd to bring Kroos' standard situation to safety.

33rd minute: Bayern didn't really regain their composure after falling behind. The pace has slowed and they seem hesitant. Thomas Tuchel implores his players to give it their all on the sidelines.

29th minute: Kim was partly responsible for the goal of the exit. Vinicius tries to surround him from the outside, but the burly Korean defender closes the door.

24th minute: GOOOOOOOOOAAAAALLLLLLLL!!!!! Vinicius Junior!!!

After all this time under pressure, Madrid are in the lead because that's exactly what they do. Bayern inexplicably get the better of Kroos, allowing him to select a typically sublime pass to Vinicius, who scores his 20th goal of the season past Neuer.

21st minute: Lucas wins a corner for Madrid. Kroos works on the ball briefly before firing the ball miles away from the goal.

17th minute: A poor free throw from Neuer goes to Mendy and Madrid has its first significant possession in the Bayern half. They don't do much with it.

12th minute: Muller shoots down the right channel and cuts back to Musiala, who has space to shoot right in the Madrid penalty area. It's over pretty harmlessly, but Ancelotti's men need to step up their game significantly.

9th minute: Goretzka grabs a tackle and Kane tries a shot from half-range… just over. Lunin hoped and prayed there.

7th minute: Madrid really can't get going here and coughs up the ball halfway. Kane pushes a pass through to Sane. The winger can't really be captivated and shoots over the goal.

6th minute: Kimmich gives the ball low, it goes over Dier and jumps over Goretzka. Nevertheless, Bayern maintain the attack and Sane cleverly backheels to Kane, who shoots at Lunin with his left foot.

5th minute: Musiala scurries into the Madrid penalty area and Nacho clears it for a corner. They make it short and Valverde challenges Kimmich. Another Bayern corner.

1st minute: Chance within the first minute for Sane! A clever touch from Kane brings his teammate into play. The angle was against Sane, his finish lacked conviction and Lunin saves.

Kick-off: 1st half

Let's go!

5 minutes before kick-off: Here the teams come into a sea of ​​red in the Allianz Arena. There is a stunning tifo as a tribute to the late, great Franz Beckenbauer.

35 minutes before kick-off: Ahead of this game, a lot of attention will be focused on England duo Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham. Each man has had a spectacular debut season with his club. Despite Bayern ceding the Bundesliga to Bayer Leverkusen, Kane has scored 42 goals in as many games across all competitions. Bellingham's winning goal in the Clasico, which effectively gave Madrid the LaLiga title, was his 21st goal and he provided 10 assists in 35 games.

1 hour before kick-off: And this is how the hosts line up. Thomas Müller, who knows these opportunities like the back of his hand, is in the starting line-up while Raphael Guerreiro drops to the bench.

1 hour 20 minutes before kick-off: Ancelotti is aiming for a fifth European title, having triumphed with AC Milan in 2002/03 and 2006/07 before Madrid's successes in 2013/14 and 2021/22. Between these successes he was also responsible for Bayern. That won him the Bundesliga title in 2016/17, but in the Champions League he was eliminated in the quarter-finals by Madrid and a 3-0 group stage loss to another former club, Paris Saint-Germain, led to his dismissal.

1 hour 40 minutes before kick-off: As is usual on these occasions, Carlo Ancelotti announced his starting XI early. Club captain Nacho plays as a central defender together with Antonio Rüdiger, as he did in the quarter-final second leg against Manchester City. This gives Aurelien Tchouameni the opportunity to start in midfield. As expected, Lucas Vazquez replaces the suspended Dani Carvajal at right-back.
