45'1 minute added on.
-
45'Tolisso curls a delicate effort a couple of yards wide of Navas' left-hand post. He had far too much time and space to measure that one up.

-
36'How big could that miss prove to be? Bayern are still well in with a shout of progressing here.

33'WHAT A CHANCE! Lewandowski is slipped through down the left, he looks to fire across Navas but the Costa Rican makes the save.

11'GOAL! REAL MADRID! BENZEMA! 1-1! Marcelo swings in a cross from the left and Benzema peels off his man at the far post to create the space to plant a simple header into the back of the net unmarked. It doesn't change an awful lot for Bayern though, as they needed to score twice anyway.
