One Bayern tormentor in Nathan Tella, goes off as Jeremie Frimpong comes on for the Bundesliga leaders.

Dutch international Frimpong is rapid. Just what Thomas Tuchel's side will want!

Artem Dobyk, Viktor Tsygankov and Ivan Martin make way as the visitors make a triple change bringing on Cristhian Stuani, Jhon Solis and Valery Fernandez.

Luka Modric and Joselu get run outs for the hosts as Rodrygo and Toni Kroos get a breather.

Five changes in all. It's almost like a mid-season international friendly.

This could end up any score. Real Madrid are pressing forward looking for a fifth as Girona's Aleix Garcia picks up a booking for a cynical foul on Eduardo Camavinga.

Thomas Muller is playing next to Harry Kane now. Bayern have to go all in.

Here comes the cavalry...well Bayern hope.

2-0 is still a dangerous score. If Bayern score now, it can lift them up.

Real Madrid are not taking any chances with Jude Bellingham who is being withdrawn after scoring his second and the hosts' third of the night.

Brahim Diaz comes on for the home side as the England midfielder takes a well earned rest and probably grabs an ice pack on the bench.

Jude Bellingham is down, writhing in apparent agony. The Real Madrid man looks like he has rolled his ankle over in the left-back position.

Girona are having a bit of a go at the start of the second half as substitute Pablo Torre and Savio get in a couple of times in quick succession down the left.

The visitors are just missing a telling final ball.

Away we go again in Germany.

One change for Girona at the break.

Attacking midfielder Pablo Torre is introduced for winger Portu.

we are back under way in Spain.

Real Madrid are unbeaten in their last 73 La Liga matches when leading at half-time (W68, D5). That dates back to 17th February 2019 against Girona when they ended up losing 2-1.

This term Carlo Ancelotti's side have won nine and drawn once when leading at half-time in the Spanish top flight.

Bayer Leverkusen are doing what Xabi Alonso wanted from them. They have hurt Bayern in that half.

Girona manager Michel has been at pains to play down his side's chances of upsetting the status quo in Spanish football by winning the title only seven years since his first appearance in La Liga.

And no wonder...judging by that half of football.

While Girona are clearly missing Yangel Herrera and Daley Blind they have barely laid a glove on Real who are down to the bare bones at the back with Eder Militao, David Alaba and Nacho Fernandez all sidelined.

Key forward Artem Dobyk has touched the ball just six times for the visitors in that half.

You'd be struggling to say the hosts don't deserve to be ahead. Thomas Tuchel's team have really looked up against it in the half.

A rare Bayern attack sees Leroy Sane race onto a ball over the top but the Bayern winger is under pressure from Josip Stanisic and clips his effort over the bar.
