Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the Champions League quarter-final first leg between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.

Rght Casemiro is going to continue as he waves away the stretcher that has come on for him.

Thiago picks up the ball and plays a delightful chip into Alaba.

His cross is headed away before Ribery breaks down the left and squares it only for Real to block again.

Now the player is stopped again as Casemiro is down for the second time.

Bayern keep the ball for a bit and eventually Boateng tries to play a ball over the top that is just too ambitious and it goes out for a goal-kick.

Bayern choose to kick the ball out of player as Casemiro is down following a challenge with Thiago.

I say choose, really they had no option as Real basically stopped playing.

Bale finds some room in the centre of the pitch and he pings it out to Marcelo. The Brazilian plays an early cross but it is easily watched out of play by Ribery.

The Allianz-Arena is rocking now and Bayern are starting to enjoy some more possession

Right I was talking about the incredible home record that Bayern have.

What have Real got in response?

Oh what a header that is! The first corner is played short and eventually a Ribery volley is headed away and then Marcelo is forced to put it behind.

The second corner is met by a thumping header from Vidal and Navas has no chance

Robben gets down the line again but this time he goes on his right. The end result is the same as he forces a corner.

Now it's Bayern's turn to have some pressure outside the Real box and eventually the ball is worked to Alaba who has cut inside. He takes aim but sends his shot just over.

Robben responds for Bayern as he gets down the right. As usual he cuts back onto his left but Ramos puts it behind.

Bayern are clearly a bit rattled by this spell of Real pressure as first Vidal and then Alonso misplace passes.

That's a terrific save from Manuel Neuer! Kroos is given way too much time to pick a cross and he gets it on Benzema's head. The ball bounces down and is looping into the top corner before Neuer gets the faintest of touches to tip it onto the woodwork.

He gets lucky and is able to gather the re-bound.

Great chance for Kroos against his former club. Benzema reeives the ball out right and swivels and sets it to the edge of the area. Kroos hits it first-time running on to it but Alonso blocks. The corner is cleared.

Rather predictably it goes straight over. Ronaldo really isn't that good at free-kicks any more is he?

Dangerous free-kick to Real about 25 yards out...

Slight delay in play as Carvajal receives some treatment following a tackle from Alaba and then a collision with Vidal. He's back on the pitch and we're underway.

Bayern clearly feel that they can catch the Real defence out and there's plenty of pressing from the forwards and midfielders. It's working as well as they win the ball back on a couple of occasions.

Some lovely one-touch play between Ronaldo and Marcelo ends with the full-back going down out on the left but the referee waves play on.
