Liverpool enjoy a lengthy spell of possession but as they're pushed back by their opponents, Joe Gomez gifts Angel Correra the ball about 20 yards out.

Luckily for the Reds, the Madrid forward also mucks up a pass and the danger is cleared.

Audi Cup final, here we come.

You've got to feel for Daniel Sturridge.

The England striker has been dogged by injury problems for the last three years but just last week manager Jurgen Klopp said the 27-year-old was in the "best condition" for the upcoming season.

But he lasted only 20 minutes on the field last night against Bayern.

Sturridge, on as a substitute, made a surging run and chipped over the keeper for Liverpool's third goal, but he immediately pulled up and was taken off with a thigh problem.

The club website has confirmed he's sidelined tonight but don't expect him to miss any more games.

It was fairly easy in the end...

In the first of their two scheduled Audi Cup games, Liverpool breezed to victory over Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena, winning 3-0 thanks to goals from Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Daniel Sturridge.

The victory booked a place in tonight's final against Atletico Madrid, who beat Napoli in their semi.
