Real's Jude Bellingham drops into his own half to try to get things going. He does a few give-and-goes to inject some energy.

As a long life spurs fan I wish Harry Kane all the best tonight. Englands greatest ever striker and fully deserved a champions league winners medal. Come on Bayern!!

I love the way everyone goes on about Kane's trophy drought. What about out trophy drought as England fans? Personally I hope Kane gets his first trophy in July.

A lot of jeers for Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos as he goes to take a corner.
Kroos used to play for Bayern.
He finds Vinicius Jr with a short corner but the Brazilian's cross goes straight out of play.

Image source, ReutersWhenever we talk about the excitement we have around other players, Harry Kane should still be number one. Absolutely in my mind he is number one.
If I had to make a choice and you said to me, 'You've got Jude Bellingham playing today or you've got Harry Kane playing today,' - you take Harry every time.
Bayern Munich 0-0 Real Madrid
Bayern striker Harry Kane, in the centre circle again, this time tries to feed Leroy Sane with a through ball but Antonio Rudiger gets there first.
Bayern Munich 0-0 Real Madrid
Bayern keeper Manuel Neuer has been solid since returning from a broken leg in a skiing accident. His pass goes to Real Madrid's Ferland Mendy but it's 50 yards away so no major harm done.

Konrad Laimer picks Thomas Muller out with a clever ball over the top. Muller is stretching and his attempted pull back hits Nacho.
Bayern come again and Jamal Musiala drags a shot wide from distance.

Another Bayern shot. Konrad Laimer picks out Thomas Muller on the right. He cuts it back for Jamal Musiala, who shoots well over from about 16 yards out.

Bellingham & Kane logically the focus of English interest, but I personally hope Dier has good games vs Madrid: model pro at Tottenham, felt a little like he was a victim of circumstance at the end of his time there
David, South Coast Spur
All the talk about one player deserving a trophy. It's a team game. I don't think any Spurs or Bayern team with Kane in deserve a trophy

Image source, Getty ImagesI don't think even Jude Bellingham himself could have expected to have the impact that he has at the start of his Real Madrid career. The way he has won the Bernabeu over, his relationship with the fans, and at times we know that can be difficult.
For him to sign for a club of that history and stature at his age and to have the impact that he has is incredible.
Harry Kane is tried and tested, been there and done it and is one of the best number nines in the Europe. He has gone and shown that at Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich 0-0 Real Madrid
Oh my word. The ball drops to Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane in the centre circle and he goes for goal.
Andriy Lunin is backpedalling but the ball lands on the roof of the net. It was close though.
It would have been one of the all-time great Champions League goals.
Image source, Getty ImagesBayern Munich 0-0 Real Madrid
A promising start for Bayern. Harry Kane sends Leroy Sane away down the left. Sane bursts into the box and flashes a shot over the bar.
Bayern Munich 0-0 Real Madrid
Unlucky for Leon Goretzka. The corner goes over everyone's head and looks like it might land to him but then bounces over his head.
Moments later Harry Kane has his first shot at goal as Leroy Sane picks him out with a backheel but his effort from near the edge of the box isn't the best and Andriy Lunin saves.
Bayern Munich 0-0 Real Madrid
Bayern try a short corner routine and Federico Valverde stops Joshua Kimmich getting a cross in, at the expense of another corner.
Bayern Munich 0-0 Real Madrid
A give and go between Jamal Musiala and Thomas Muller and the Germany forward wins a corner off Nacho.
Bayern Munich 0-0 Real Madrid
Both sides still feeling their way into the game. Eric Dier getting a few touches at the back for Bayern.

Offside flag goes up against Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham now. Bayern back on the ball.

FC Bayern München and Real Madrid is the most played fixture in the history of the European Cup/UEFA Champions League (26 games), with 24 of those coming in the knockout stages of the competition – also the most between two sides.
This is the eighth time FC Bayern München and Real Madrid have been drawn together in a semi-final in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League. After progressing from four of the first five between 1976 and 2012, Bayern have been eliminated in each of the last two (2013-14 and 2017-18).
FC Bayern München are winless in their last seven games against Real Madrid, losing six of those meetings (D1). Indeed, this is the German’s side longest winless run against an opponent in European competition.
Real Madrid have won each of their last three away games against FC Bayern München (0-4 in 2013-14, 1-2 in 2016-17 and 1-2 in 2017-18), the longest ever winning run away to the German side in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League. In fact, no other team has ever won consecutive away games against Bayern across the two competitions.
Real Madrid are unbeaten in their last 10 games in the UEFA Champions League (W7 D3), all of which have been this season. Only once previously have they had a longer unbeaten run within a single campaign in the competition, going 11 without defeat in the 2016-17 edition (which they would go on to win).
FC Bayern München have only lost one of their last 24 home games in the UEFA Champions League (W20 D3), and are unbeaten in the last 15 (W12 D3) since losing to Paris Saint-Germain in April 2021 (2-3).
Real Madrid have scored the most goals from direct attacks (7) in the UEFA Champions League this season. Indeed, among sides to qualify from the group stage this term, only FC København (38.9) have a lower average starting distance than Real Madrid (39.6), determining how close to their own goal they recover the ball in open play on average (in metres).
Harry Kane has been directly involved in 10 goals in 10 games for FC Bayern München in the UEFA Champions League this season (7 goals, 3 assists). Should he score or assist in this game, he would establish a new record for the most goal involvements by an English player in a single campaign in the competition (also 10 by David Beckham in 1998-99 and 2001-02 and Steven Gerrard in 2007-08).
Among players to have attempted 50+ dribbles in the UEFA Champions League since the start of last season, the four with the highest dribble success rate are all FC Bayern München teammates: Alphonso Davies (62.1%), Leroy Sané (60.3%), Jamal Musiala (60.2%) and Kingsley Coman (60.0%). Meanwhile, the player with the most completed dribbles in the tournament over this period is Real Madrid winger Vinícius Júnior (68).
Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham is the player who has made the most high-intensity pressures in the UEFA Champions League this season (496). In the second leg against Manchester City, Bellingham averaged 1.2 high-intensity pressures per minute on the pitch (146 overall); the highest average by a player to play 90 or more minutes in a game in the tournament this term.
