    Leipzig are doing some tasty counter-attacking. Xavi Simons sends away Timo Werner and Bayern defender Dayot Upamecano is fouled for hacking him down on the edge of the box.

    Good race. Xavi Simons plays a brilliant volleyed ball 60 yards down the pitch to set up a Timo Werner v Leroy Sane chase - and Sane just gets there to stop Werner.

    Nothing against Kane, but it would be cruelly ironic if Bayern don’t win anything this year and Spurs do.

    Chris

    If Bayern are winning, I hope Kane gets a minute in the game so he can claim he won a medal.

    Bayern Munich 0-1 Leipzig

    Bayern are inches away from equalising... via a Leipzig player.

    A free-kick bounces round the box and hits the toes of Mohamed Simakan before clipping the outside of his post. He knew nothing about that.

    The chances are coming for Bayern now. Serge Gnabry nutmegs a defender down near the byeline and cuts it back for Mathys Tel, who lashes over.

    Leroy Sane flashes in a cross from the right which Serge Gnabry can't get his head onto. There was an empty net there if he could.

    Bayern clear a corner and Mathys Tel is left on his own to try a one-man counter-attack which goes nowhere. Maybe he needs a strike partner...?

    Bayern probe to no avail and Leipzig try to send Lois Openda away with a long ball but he can't quite get away from the home defence.

    Serge Gnabry can't head his head onto Leroy Sane's cross but this is better from champions Bayern now.

    Bayern's best chance yet as striker Mathys Tel gets the ball in the box and lashes a shot straight at the keeper.

    I'm not going to say that another unnamed striker might have scored that...

    Bayern defender Benjamin Pavard is the first player in the book for chopping down Dani Olmo to stop a Leipzig counter.

    As a Spurs fan I wish Harry Kane nothing but the best and success at Bayern. However if they win tonight and he wins his first trophy, does his contract have a 14 day cooling off period and he can come back job done? Fingers crossed.

    Rob

    Uh oh - we all know what happens with finals and Harry…

    First chance for Bayern. Joshua Kimmich plays a lovely ball in behind to Serge Gnabry, but his side-footed first-time sweep is straight at Janis Blaswich.

    Bayern haven't got started at all here. Dani Olmo's cross is hacked out of play by Matthijs De Ligt.

    Great start for Leipzig considering they have sold their best defender to Manchester City, a star midfielder to Liverpool and their main man up front to Chelsea.
