13'
Vidal lets fly from 25 yards but it flashes just over the top. Good effort.
12'
Real deal with the resulting corner but the visitors are looking menacing here.
11'
Lewandowski makes a clever run to the far right of the area. He's only faced by Ramos but can't shrug off the defender, who blocks his attempted cross with Bayern players pouring into the middle in support.
9'
BIG CHANCE! Alaba and Ribery combine to tear Real's defence to shreds on the left. The latter squares it for Thiago who sees a goalbound shot blocked by Marcelo with Robben smashing the loose ball into the side netting from a narrow angle.
8'
Ronaldo is so often the man for the big occasion - but not that time.
7'
Ronaldo steps up but curves it straight into the wall. Incidentally, Vidal will now miss the first leg of the semi final if Bayern were to turn this around and progress.
6'
Vidal booked for lunging into a sliding tackle on Isco. Free kick 25 yards out, right of centre.

5'
Bayern with a very strong and highly experienced line up tonight. Will it count in their favour?
4'
At the other end, Robben goes for goal but sees his shot deflect out for the first corner of the game. Thiago delivers, but Real easily clear.
3'
Isco pounces on some sluggish play by Alonso. Real pour forward but Hummels steps in nick it off Ronaldo as he thought about pulling the trigger from distance.
2'
Bayern go straight for the jugular from the kick off, but can't conjure up anything from a promising position on the left. Madrid clear but it comes straight back. An early cross is met by Lewandowski who can't find a teammate with the nod down.
1st Half

KICK OFF! Bayern get this second leg underway.

19.35
Ronaldo v Lewandowski: In the knockout stages, Ronaldo has scored 0.72 goals per game (46 in 64 games). That's a better rate than in the group stages (0.71). /// Lewandowski has scored in each of his last three Champions League games (three goals), but he’s never managed four in a row in the competition. The Poland international has netted 15 in his last 11 appearances for Bayern - and the Bavarians need him to continue that run of form tonight.

19.30
Bayern Munich’s last three goals in the Champions League have all been scored by Arturo Vidal.
19.25
Is Lewandowski key to a Bayern comeback? The Pole returns from the right shoulder injury he sustained against Dortmund on April 9. The striker has netted 46 times in 45 matches for club and country this term.
19.20
BEST KEEPER IN THE WORLD? Zidane is a big fan of Manuel Neuer, describing him as 'the wall' following a series of top-drawer saves that kept 10-man Bayern in it during the second half of the first leg.
19.15
HEAD-TO-HEAD: There is little between the clubs in 23 previous encounters. Bayern have won 11 matches to Madrid's ten, with two draws; Bayern have scored 34 goals, Madrid 33. Madrid's record at home to Bayern is W8 D1 L2 F17 A9.
19.10
Ronaldo speaking about himself in the style of Zlatan Ibrahimovic: "I don't know who doubts me... People who love Cristiano never have any doubts. You have to tell me who doubts me because none of it has come to me."

Carlo Ancelotti: "Small details decided the first leg and we have to focus on those. We cannot afford to leave Cristiano (Ronaldo) alone. We have a smaller chance than in the first leg, but we can definitely win this. The first 60 minutes in the first leg were quite good, but we made too many mistakes after that."
