    not sure "unlucky" is the right phrase, were not clinical enough in hitting the posts when it is only a goal when they cross the line and inside them

    no worries for Mbappe, he'll likely win it if he stays at Madrid more than 1-2 seasons

    Madrid have outlived their usefulness now in knocking the cheating tw@ts out ,it's nice to get back to despising them.

    Come on Bayern ,do it for football

    Very hard to call this one. Bayern not great but madrid always give you a chance especially at home for some reason

    And yet haven't scored. Bayern defending exceptionally and carry more than enough threat, I think they'll do Real here as the adrenaline starts to wear off.

    I think that old goat Ancelotti will know when to tell his own side to start sitting off too.

    Only caught about twenty minutes but Kane has been so wasteful in his passing / timing.

    Killed three counter attacks on the bounce with a bad pass or late pass.

    Another great save from Neuer. 38 and still a great keeper

    Really weird tie. Level after three halves but it feels like Real could go up another level if they really needed to, which in a semi final they do need to.

    Neuer has made a couple of good saves but I've found Real really underwhelming so far. Bayern will be relatively happy I think. Very much in this still.

    Doing a disservice to the quality of the Bayern defending I think.

    You could be right by the looks of it now. It looks like 1 will win it but these are the types to create a crazy second half

    There has been good defending on Bayern's part in both legs but I still think Real have been a bit underwhelming.

    Admittedly I missed the first 20 tonight but commentary team waxing lyrical about them and talking about Bayern getting to HT when I haven't really felt like Bayern are in that much danger in the game.

    In this weird universe where Bayer Leverkusen might actually be the best team on the planet at the moment

    I think there's a mistake in that Madrid defence and Kroos who is running the show through the middle for Madrid will run out of gas soon and the gaps will be bigger for Bayern to exploit . As for Bayern how slow is Kane and how lazy a man is Sane ? Tuchel will be the happier of the two managers,but who would know as both are miserable f*ckerz ?

    This is what I meant about Real having another level to go to. Vinicius Jr has woken them up.

    I have a completely different view.

    Bayern should be 2-0 down right now. I think they’ve done ok to stop Real battering them but they’ve still shipped big chances. And they’ve been unbelievably wasteful on the counter.

    This is becoming the Manuel Neuer semi final. And if your goalkeeper is your best player, you’re not defending well.

    Kane has covered over a multitude of cracks for Bayern this season ,they're totally hapless going forward
