FULL TIME. Bayern Munich 2 Real Madrid 1.
90+3 Marcelo makes a shocking tackle on Muller and the Bayern are rightly furious. The ninth yellow card of the game and a sour way to end the night.
90+2 Solid work from Alonso to bring the ball away, but Higuain is booked for dissent after claiming a yellow card should have been shown to Gustavo.
90+1
Three minutes of added time to be played.
90
Terrific goal from Bayern. Lahm completely skins Coentrao with Gomez picked up from close range, the striker prodding home an open goal to the delight of the Allianz Arena! Bar the Madrid fans of course.
90 GOAL! Gomez scores!!
89
A Marcelo corner is caught by Neuer as Bayern look to break, with Robben's progress slowed down by Coentrao.
87
Bayern are fuming. Gomez goes down but Ramos appeared to make a fantastic tackle to clear away from the striker in the box. The right decision from Webb.
85
Another Gomez header, and another save from Casillas as the striker again met Lahm's delivery but failed to direct his effort to either side of the Madrid keeper.
84 Benzema heads off after a really good shift, with Higuain the man replacing him.

77
Kroos shimmies but his shot is hounded down by Ramos, with Ronaldo then left frustrated after being tackled by Lahm with no free-kick given.

73
Another chance for Gomez, this time from a Lahm cross, with the striker heading over the bar after meeting the ball brilliantly.

Benzema spreads the ball to Ronaldo, who is neutralised by Alaba. The magician has been very quiet compared to his normal standards.
71
The free-kick falls gratefully into the path of Gomez but he hooks a close-range shot inexplicably over the bar. Great chance for the German side.

66
Arbeloa trips Ribery, and despite the defender's protest, a Bayern free-kick is given.

62
Lahm finds Gomez delightfully but Pepe does well to nudge him off balance, with Casillas making an expert tackle to prevent the striker shooting.

61 Yellow card for Di Maria, with the Argentinian guilty of hacking down Robben.

58

57
Madrid press up threateningly but Di Maria's service is poor again as he can only find Neuer at the far post.
56 Gustavo is floored by Coentrao and the left-back earns himself a booking.
55
Bayern will be furious as they had looked good value for their lead, with Schweinsteiger looking to break, his ball across the penalty area gathered by Casillas.

Incredible scenes as Ronaldo's close-range shot is parried brilliantly by Neuer, but Benzema keeps it alive, knocking the ball across goal, with Ronaldo providing Ozil an open goal to score into.
53 GOAL! Ozil scores!
52
Kroos intercepts from Di Maria, with top footwork from Ribery contnuing the attack, before Robben goes for goal and it flies over the bar. Really good break from the hosts.

48

46
Real kick off the second half.
Ribery strikes the only goal of a slightly anti-climactic half, with the hosts looking terrific so far. Send your second half predictions to jack.woodfield@bskyb.com or tweet @JWoodfield365

45
Gomez goes down on the edge of the area under a combination of Pepe and Ramos and Bayern will fancy their chances from here.

27
Kroos turns away from Khedira expertly, with Real conceding possession far too frequently, as Schweinsteiger fires from range, his effort narrowly landing wide of goal.

Bayern look a real threat going forward, with Lahm and Ribery's link-up play excellent, with the former's cross too deep for Gomez as Ozil boots the ball out.
25
Khedira looks to set Benzema away but the striker had to track back from an offside position and the chance is ended.

2
Good work from Gustavo early on as he steals the ball from Alonso to win possession for his team.
1
Bayern get the game underway.
Craig Leask writes: "Watching this exciting tie from the USA will no doubt provide an entertaining match to all. It's finally good to see two teams who match each other in terms of ability, skill and the desire to win the competition. They both have players who can have an off day yet come up with the winning goal. Whilst I predict real Madrid to win it over the course of the two legs (not by much) I predict a draw tonight at the Allianz Arena and Real Madrid to seal the passage to the final with a win at the Bernabeu....... Hopefully where they will face Chelsea."
Farah Arbab writes: "Very interesting semi final 1st leg in Germany. Both teams have a weaker defend but strong stricking force. Cant see either of the team winning this leg. Goals will be scored in this match and giving away goals advantage to visitors. Couple of goals hence 2-2 final score."
Ben Gleeson writes: "I think the two back 4's will be the key difference between the teams tonight. There isn't much to seperate Bayern and Reals front 6 (Bayerns front 3 are better than Madrids front 3 in my opinion) but Real do have a much better backline. Bayern have really struggled this season domestically with average, slow centre backs and I think Boateng and Badstuber will be exposed tonight."
Adam Gillis writes: "My opinion of Jose Mourinho will raise a few eyebrow's but I think he's overrated, yes he's won trophies where ever he's been and is no doubt a good manager but nicknaming him 'The special one' is bizarre. He's won trophies at the best clubs, there's no way he could give norwich back to back promotions like Paul Lambert has or maybe he could but before we all worship him let's see him take charge of someone average like Everton and see how he copes. I think Munich will win this one 3-1."
Our friends at Sky Bet can't separate these two European giants tonight, with Bayern Munich and Real Madrid both priced at 13/8 for the victory. The draw could be the smart bet tonight, and that is avaliable at 12/5.
And there IS some English blood in this tie as Howard Webb takes charge as the man in black.
Bayern Munich: Neuer, Lahm, Boateng, Badstuber, Alaba, Gustavo, Schweinsteiger, Robben, Kroos, Ribery, Gomez. Subs: Butt, Olic, Rafinha, Pranjic, Muller, Contento, Tymoschuk.
Real Madrid: Casillas, Arbeloa, Pepe, Sergio Ramos, Fabio Coentrao, Alonso, Khedira, Di Maria, Ozil, Ronaldo, Benzema. Subs: Adan, Kaka, Granero, Marcelo, Albiol, Varane, Higuain.
Ricardo Carvalho (thigh) and Lassana Diarra (hamstring) have not travelled to Munich with the rest of the squad but Marcelo is on the bench and Angel Di Maria starts after recovering from respective back and thigh problems.
Real Madrid have been unstoppable in Europe this term, winning all six of their group games before comfortably knocking out CSKA Moscow and APOEL Nicosia to reach the semi-finals.
Arjen Robben was also shown the door by Real and starts against his former club, with Heynckes able to call on a virtually full-strength starting XI after resting several star men at the weekend.
Bayern manager Jupp Heynckes will be determined to prove a point after being dismissed as Real coach in 1998 despite delivering European success.
The prospect of competing in the final on their home ground has inspired Bayern throughout this season's campaign and they have just one more obstacle to negotiate if they are to feature at the Allianz Arena on May 19.
