A great chance for Bayern in the first three minutes of extra-time. Franck Ribery slides a pass through to Robert Lewandowski, who pulls back the right foot ready to open the scoring... But no! Eric Durm appears from nowhere and extends a leg to block with a perfectly-timed challenge.

While you've been digesting the Mourinho news, the magic sponges have been deployed and words of encouragement offered to the players of Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, and extra-time is under way in the DFB-Pokal final.

Davide Calabria's cross from the right for AC Milan somehow makes it through a forest of limbs without either an attacker or defender getting the touch that would send it past Neto for the opening goal.

Some news just in...

Manchester United will appoint Jose Mourinho as their new manager, BBC Sport understands.

Mourinho has been out of work since he was sacked by Chelsea in December.

With United failing to qualify for the Champions League under Louis van Gaal, the Old Trafford hierarchy are thought to have decided a change is required.

It is understood a deal with Mourinho was agreed in principle before Saturday's FA Cup final victory against Crystal Palace.

Juventus's Giorgio Chiellini gets forward to cause some bother in the Milan box.

He is checked by Cristian Zapata at the cost of a yellow card and a free-kick on the edge of the box.

Paul Pogba lines it up, but his effort fails to clear the wall. He had a lot to do it get his shot up, down and in from only 22 yards or so out.

Just as happened when these two sides last met in the DFB-Pokal final two years ago, the first 90 minutes have ended goalless, and we're into extra-time. Back in 2014, Bayern ran out 2-0 winners after the additional half-hour. What chance a repeat?

A rip-roaring start to the second half.

AC Milan full-back Mattia De Sciglio bangs in a shot from 25 yards and Neto has to get down sharply to get his body behind it.

At the other end Gianluigi Donnarumma does very well to tip Mario Lemina's cross out of the path of Mario Mandzukic.

Bayern's Douglas Costa finally has the ball in the Dortmund net after being played through by Thomas Muller - but the Brazilian is two yards offside, and he knows it. The extra half-hour is almost upon us.

Borussia Dortmund are having to defend with great discipline as Bayern search for a winner. We're into three minutes of stoppage time.

That is the first half done in the French capital.

It has been an even and eventful first half and you'll take that from any cup final entertainment-wse.

Back under way in Rome. All three of these finals are finely poised.

What a chance for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Borussia Dortmund's top scorer is clear 12 yards out as Lukasz Piszczek's terrific low cross from the right finds him free, but the Gabon international sidefoots the chance over, and responds with a look of anguish. With five minutes left, that could have won the DFB-Pokal for Dortmund. It could have been their first trophy since 2012. We go on.

Both sets of fans have packed the pyro for their trip to the Stade de France.

Marseille striker Michy Batshuayi does little to tempt in any more Premier League bids as he wallops a shot, high wide and wild after Tiago Silva gets caught underneath a long ball forward.

Two minutes to the break.

A big moment in the Coupe de France as Marseille get away with a deliberate handball on the goalline.

It is Florian Thauvin - on loan from Newcastle - with the sleight of hand. He is covering back as Zlatan Ibrahimovic controls a deep corner at the far post and slaps a shot goalwards with the laces of his instep.

As the ball squirms past Steve Mandanda, Thauvin sticks out a hand and pushes the ball away. But the referee fails to spot his sly skulduggery in a packed penalty box.

Mats Hummels' Borussia Dortmund career has ended prematurely. The captain has been unable to shake off that injury he picked up a few moments ago, and has had to make way. Matthias Ginter is on in his place. Ten minutes of the 90 left. The next time we see Hummels play at club level, he will be in a Bayern Munich shirt.

Franck Ribery cuts in from the left as Bayern seek a breakthrough. The France international's low shot is deflected, and might just sneak in, but keeper Roman Burki reacts well to save.

AC Milan skipper Riccardo Montolivo applauds the club's fans as he heads down the tunnel.

They return the favour. Milan have made light of Juventus' status as favourites to dominate the first half.

But they have not made a breakthrough while the iron was warm. Will they come to regret that?

Now Dortmund captain Mats Hummels is down, seemingly with cramp, after stretching into a tackle on Franck Ribery. He is quickly back on his feet, but Thomas Tuchel's side are starting to look stretched here.

As if to prove the point, Hummels is then booked for a bodycheck on Thomas Muller.

Seventeen-year-old AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma shows the cheek of a schoolboy as he skips away from Mario Mandzukic attempting to close him down.

A high-wire act.
