90+4'
FT: Bayern Munich 1-2 Real Madrid. All over in the Allianz as Real do it again. Not at their best, they have got the job done in the Champions League once more. Bayern were really poor in truth, with some big players choosing the wrong occasion to have an off night. Will take a monumental effort from them to make the final now. Thanks for joining us. Report to follow. Goodnight.
90+2'
Break on for Real, Asensio is screaming for it, in space, Benzema goes the other way, but Ronaldo is offside.
90'
Yellow card for Thiago for a challenge on Kovacic. Four minutes of added time here.
88'
CHAAAAANCE! There was Lewandowski's moment. Great ball from Tolliso, Lewandowski is in, has Navas to beat, but clips the ball wide.
86'
Free-kick to Bayern in a dangeroius position. Varane does well to head clear.

Indeed...
84'
Final change for Real, with Casemiro making way for Mateo Kovacic
82'
Vazquez tries the one-two, but Ulreich races off his line to gather the ball.
80'
Casemiro is the next player into book after arriving late in on James.
78'
SAVE! Great stop from Ulreich to keep his side in this, denying Benzema with his legs.
76'
Final change for Bayern with Corentin Tolisso replacing Javi Martinez.
74'
Real doing their best to see this game out. They have not been at their best, but they have almost got the job done.
72'
NO GOAL! Ronaldo brings the ball down out of the sky and fires brilliantly into the net, but he is penalised for handball. Correct decision.

A potent weapon on the bench...
70'
CLOSE! Robery has done everything but score tonight. This time he drills just wide from the corner of the box.
68'
CHANCE!!!! How has he missed that? Ribery heads the ball back across for Muller, he swivels to shoot, practically on the line, but he cannot connect, with Ramos getting his body in there. Hosts want a penalty, but the referee waves away any appeals.
66'
Change for Real. On comes Karim Benzema for the injured Carvajal. Very attacking change from Zidane, who must want more goals!
64'
SAVE! Another stop from Navas. The ball rebounded to Ribery on the corner of the box, but his drilled effort was well blocked.
62'
Really flat feeling around the Allianz. A real smash and grab job by Real.
