Watch: Kane discusses his penalty routine
The goalscorer spoke about his prowess from 12 yards against Frankfurt after scoring from the spot then too.
Kane is scored
The striker is reliable from the spot, and sends Lunin the wrong way to complete the comeback. What a few minutes for Bayern!
Penalty!
Bayern could flip this game on its immediate side, as referee Turpin points to the spot after Vázquez fells Musiala in the box. Kane steps up to take it.
All square!
Sané was instrumental against Arsenal in the quarters, and he comes up with the goods again here. Guerreiro coming on has seen him move over to the right, which allows him to cut inside onto his favored left foot and let fly, leaving Lunin with no chance.
Neuer to the rescue
A big hand from the 38-year-old palms Kroos’ curling strike to safety. That is a warning sign Bayern must heed.
High pressure
Real are looking to pin their opponents in their own third early on in this second period.
Back on the way
45 minutes left in this one.
Corner
The latter’s attempt is headed behind.
Chance
A similar opportunity for Real at the other end after Mazraoui brings Bellingham down on the edge of the area. Rodrygo and Kroos are standing over this one.
Just wide
The Englishman hammers a shot towards the far post. He pushes it a little too far this time.
Free kick
Musiala is fouled just outside the box. A fantastic opportunity as we approach the break – Kane will have his eye on this one.
Sizing each up other up
The two teams are trading possession. These 10 minutes before half-time could well be crucial in the context of this tie.
Goretzka strike blocked
Musiala works the ball to the midfielder just inside the area, but a Madrid body gets in the way as Goretzka tries to find the bottom corner.
Deadly
Just when you think you have their number, Real strike. Work for Bayern to do now.
Real in front
And just like that, Madrid lead. Out of nowhere, Kroos finds a pinpoint pass for Vinícius to run onto, and he strokes beyond Neuer and into the corner.
Vinicius Junior
GOAL!
0:1
Real finding a foothold
The visitors have taken some of the sting out of Bayern’s start and are beginning to knock the ball about themselves. No goalmouth action to speak of yet though.
Wide
Musiala is yet to find his shooting boots just yet – this drive is more a daisy-cutter as it trickles beyond the post.
Musiala over
Another chance for the Bavarians, with the attacking midfield firing high on this occasion. All one-way traffic at the moment, but Bayern need to make this pressure pay against a side like Real.
Watch: Kane’s scores from his own half against Darmstadt
If your memory needs refreshing!
Kane tries his luck from distance!
We’ve seen Kane nail one from the halfway line so far this term against Darmstadt, and he tries to do again as he sees Lunin off his line! It beats the crossbar too on this occasion, but a good effort all the same.
Sane over
The winger is enjoying an eventful start to this one! He already has his second attempt of the night, although this one doesn’t trouble the goalkeeper as it flies over, albeit narrowly.
Lunin is saved
Kimmich’s set-piece flies all the way to Goretzka on the edge of the area, but Bayern work the ball back into the box and Kane’s snapshot tests Lunin. Easy save for the Ukrainian in the end, though.
Corner
The hosts have another chance here to take an early lead.
Sané denied!
Already a huge opening for the hosts, as Kane and Sané link up well on the left before the latter sees a shot saved by the left foot of Lunin. A statement of intent from Bayern already though!
Here we go!
We’re on our way here!
Teams on the pitch
The players are out, the Champions League anthem is being played – this is going to be a special night!
Full house
Supporters have been making their way to the stadium for this huge tie.
Müller to make history
The Bayern and Germany legend will tick off another milestone tonight as he makes his 150th Champions League appearance. He currently sits sixth on the all-time list and will be just one game behind fifth-placed Xavi and fourth-placed Karim Benzema when this one gets underway.
Under 15 minutes to go
Kick-off is not too far away – the excitement is palpable!
Watch: Bayern 2-1 Eintracht Frankfurt – highlights
Bayern warmed up for this one with a narrow victory over Frankfurt at the weekend, with Kane scoring twice.
Coefficient boost?
A Bayern victory would not only give the Bavarians a boost in their hopes of reaching the final, but would also further help in the Bundesliga’s quest for a fifth Champions League spot next season. The German top flight currently leads the English Premier League, and two victories for Bundesliga clubs in European competition between now and the end of the season would be enough to secure the extra place.
Watch: Every Harry Kane goal in the Bundesliga this season
Sit back and enjoy a few minutes of the Englishman ripping German defenses to shreds this campaign.
Shared stars
Only nine players have featured for both of these clubs. The first was Paul Breitner, while Zé Roberto, Arjen Robben, Hamit Altintop, Toni Kroos, Xabi Alonso, James Rodríguez, David Alaba and Álvaro Odriozola have followed.
Bayern strong against Spanish opposition
The Bavarians have fared well against Spanish outfits in the past, losing just four of their 32 home matches against LaLiga outfits. They will hope that statistic inspires them in front of their own supporters tonight.
Watch: Bayern back on the up
Der Rekordmeister have not had the best campaign overall, surrendering their Bundesliga title to Bayer Leverkusen, but they are returning to form just at the right time.
Bayern starting XI
Neuer (c) – Kimmich, Dier, Kim, Mazraoui – Laimer, Goretzka – Sané, Müller, Musiala – Kane
Bayern subs
