1'
KICK-OFF! We're underway with the first half!
2'
Corner is curled in by Kroos but Bayern head the danger clear.
3'
Rudiger on the ball, looks to thread a pass forwards to release his team-mates, but it's too strong and it's out for a goal kick.
5'
Kane does good work through the middle, looks to slide a pass through for a team-mate, but the defence is on it and cuts it out, then clears the danger.
6'
Carvajal, back from suspension, beats a couple of Bayern tackle inside the box, looks to pass to Rodrygo for him to shoot… but there's too much meat on that pass.
8'
CHANCE! Gnabry runs onto a beautiful ball into the Real box, he fires on goal on the run but his shot thunders past the right post, possibly taking a lick of paint with it.
8'
CHANCE! Gnabry runs onto a beautiful ball into the Real box, he fires on goal on the run but his shot thunders past the right post, possibly taking a lick of paint with it.
9'
OUCH! Kimmich is penalised for a heavy tackle on a Real midfielder. That would have hurt. Kimmich's name is noted by the ref for future yellow card reference.
12'
Laimer cuts a Real opponent down with a heavy tackle and the hosts have a free kick.
13'
Rodrygo picks up the rebound and fires a shot in on goal, but Manuel Neuer reacts instinctively to smack the shot away to safety.

WASTED! Vinicius Junior fails to put away a golden opportunity. He's on the end of a lovely ball into the box, he gathers himself quickly and stabs at the ball… but it smacks against the left post!
15'
Vinicius Junior has a shot unleashes a bit of a wild shot that flashes well wide of the right upright.
16'
Sane chips into the box looking for a team-mate, but the Real defence slip to and clear the danger.

20'
Valverde concedes a file after a clumsy collision with a Bayern player.
21'
Lovely run from Gnabry, but crowd-pleasing as it was, he couldn't get past the Real defenders.
23'
Rodrygo does well to cross into the box for Vinicius Junior, but he can't weave through the Bayern defence and is relieved of the ball.
25'
Carvajal with a great tackle, but the ref blows him for a foul.
26'
SUBSTITUTION, BAYERN MUNICH. Gnabry has picked up an injury and is replaced by Alphonso Davies.
29'
Kimmich shoots the corner in but Lunin claims the ball and clears the danger.
29'
SHOT! Harry Kane with a great volley from the edge of the box… it curls beautifully towards the bottom corner, but is probably going to edge off the outside of the upright, but Lunin dives full length to tip it around for the corner, taking no changes.
31'
Carvajal lofts a nice cross into the box, but the Bayern defence clears the danger.
32'
Rodrygo shoots from distance, but the Bayern defence blocks its path to the goal.

Good work down the left from Kane, but the Real defence bothers him enough to kick the ball into touch - hard to control the ball at full sprint with world-class defenders thirsting for the ball

Bayern playing keep-ball, but are forced to push back to their own box before driving up again into the Real half.
38'
Bayern still on the ball, they push towards the edge of the Real box, but they overrun the ball and Real press forward on the counter and win a free-kick in a dangerous position. It's lofted into the box, headed out… a shot is smashed back in but is blocked by a defender…
39'
… the ball presses wide and is crossed into the box, it's wide of attacers but Neuer has to throw himself full length to reach the ball and tip it around for a corner.
41'
Bayern in control again looking to press upfield.
43'
Real press forward but overrun the ball and Bayern send it upfield again, passing, passing, passing…
44'
SHOT! Mazraoui curls a shot from long-range around the group of defenders in the box, it curls back on goal beautifully, but Lunin is in position to save with a yawn.
45'
HALF-TIME, REAL MADRID 0-0 BAYERN MUNICH (agg 2-2). Some excellent play in attack and defence from Bayern in particular, but Real's defence has been top-notch, while they haven't made many efforts at attack. Quite likely to chance second half, and I'll better a billion dollars (Zim) that both teams will come out powerfully looking to catch their opponent off guard. Up shortly…
45'
LOVELY BALL through for Kane, but Lunin is off his line quickly and gets to it a click ahead of Kane, clearing the ball deeply and powerfully. And the half-time whistle follows.
45'
Just one minute of stoppage time to be added… my word this 45 minutes has flashed by in a flash.
46'
KICK-OFF! And the second half begins…
47'
Kane with a lovely ball for Davies to run onto, he pushes into the box, fires a shot on goal but it skims over the crossbar. Great intent and pace shown by both sides straight after the restart…… :-)

52'
GREAT RUN! GREAT BLOCK! Vinicius again with a mazy run down the left, then into the box, where his powerful low cross is beaten away for a corner by the Bayern defence. The corner is played out of the box and volleyed on goal from distance, but it skews well wide.
54'
SHOT! SAVED! Kane with a lovely run through to the box, holding off his man, then thrashing a shot at the far right corner, but Lunin is one step ahead of him and dives down to stop the shot. Superb football all around.
55'
SO CLOOOOOSE! Vinicius again into the Bayern box, sends a low pass to the edge of the six-yard box, it's flicked on by Rodrygo, the ball scraping the post on its way out for a goal-kick. Neuer was beaten there… BIG moment in the game.
57'
FOUL! Laimer goes in from behind on Rodrygo just short of the D, and that's a dangerous free-kick.
58'
SAVED! Rodrygo curls his kick over the wall but Neuer dives to his left, palming the wall away from being a certain goal. Super keeping.
59'
Bayern counter-attack well, but Real reclaim the ball and press upfield… Vinicius is into the Bayern box again, beating a man and then pulling the trigger…
60'
SAVED! Neuer dives full length to parry the blistering shot away from goal. Such a good shot but excellent keeping.
62'
Bayern press forward again, causing problems for Bayern… the push up the left win and towards the box but they concede a foul just short of the box and almost in line with the byline.
64'
Kroos flashes the penalty across goal but Neuer does well to come out and punch it wide. That was dangerous.
65'
SHOT… and SAVED! Musiala breaks into the box and slaps a left-footed on goal, but it's at Lunin, but he still does well to palm it over the bar.
67'
Kane with a clever ball over the top for Davies, he gathers outside the box, slithers inside, jinks left then pushes it forward to his right for and then unleashes a thunderbolt on goal…
68'

Real break forward, desperate now for a goal.
71'
SUBSTITUTION, REAL. Modric is on for Kroos, Tchouaméni makes way for Camavinga.
72'
GOAL, GOAL, GOAL, GOAL!!!! REAL HAVE EQUALISED WITH A SOFT FLICK IN FROM A CORNER…but wait, a Bayern defender is down… and the VAR has called the ref over…
73'
NO GOAL! It was played wide, the passed in low and hard, flicked on and then rebounded off Bayern defenders and into the goal… but there was a hand in the face of a Bayern defender… so NO GOAL!
75'

85'
Lovely run to the Real box by Pavlović but he trips and catches his foot and looks in agony.
87'
Vinicius Junior down the right, has a shot that bounces shot of Neuer, it just bounces too high and catches Neuer on the chest and bounces back a few feet in front on him… but Joselu comes steaming in…
88'
GOAL, REAL MADRID, JOSELU! 1-1 (agg 3-3). Joselu is there to make the most of Neuer's only error of the night… and STABS the ball into the back of the net. WHAT DRAMA!!
89'
WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT, REAL DRIVE INTO THE BOX AND THERE'S A CROSS IN FROM RUDIGER AND JOSELU IS THERE TO JUMP UP TO TAP IT INTO THE BACK OF THE NET, HIS FOOT MEETING THE BALL AT ALMOST WAIST HEIGHT……………… BUT NOOOOOOO!!!!! The flag is up for offsides! VAR is checking and the entire stadium is abuzz but I mean ABUZZZZZZ!!!
90'
GOAL, REAL MADRID, JOSELU! 2-1 (agg 4-3) THE GOAL IS GIVEN! An incredible turnaround, coming from a goal down to leading in the last seven minutes and substituting Harry Kane… and suddenly Bayern have nine minutes of extra time to find a leveller! What a night of football!

103'
FULL-TIME, REAL MADRID 2-1 BAYERN MUNICH 1 (agg 4-3). Real Madrid are through to the Champions League final! Wow, what a night… there was everything there. A classic, classic battle of ups and downs, heartbreak and pure delight. Bayern played superbly and will feel they deserved to win… but Real prove again how they and Carlo Ancelotti just have that incredible knack of pulling triumph out of the flames of disaster.
