Madrid will likely play far better on home soil next week, but for now it's advantage Bayern and Jupp Heynckes' men have given themselves a very real chance of reaching the final at the Allianz Arena.
Bayern claim a victory they just about deserved on the night, though Madrid claimed an away goal that could yet prove costly for the Germans.

<b>It's over!</b>
- 94'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> It's a yellow card. It was an ugly challenge, nowhere near the ball, but perhaps not a definite red.
- 93'
Marcelo tackles Muller and Bayern are furious. They want a red card.
- 92'
Madrid take a long free-kick that sails into Neuer's arms.
- 92'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Higuain gets his name in the book for waving an imaginary card.
- 91'
Gomez robs Coentrao and finds Robben. Bayern still on the attack.
- 90'
Not the best finish of his career, but he's not been at his most clinical tonight so any old finish will certainly do.
- 89'
Great work from Lahm on the right sees him beat Coentrao to create the space to cross for Gomez, who bundles in it.
- 89'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/goal.gif"> <b>GOAL FOR BAYERN!</b>
- 89'
Marcelo's corner heads straight into Neuer's hands.
- 88'
Real Madrid win a corner.
- 87'
Another Bayern penalty appeal goes begging! Gomez once more went through on goal and went down as several defenders went in, but Ramos did get a toe on the ball.
- 86'
Granero wins a free-kick just inside the Madrid half.
- 85'
Lahm crosses into the centre for Gomez to head on goal, but he can't quite get the power on it and it's a relatively simple save for Casillas.
- 84'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Higuain finally makes his entrance, replacing Benzema.
- 83'
Madrid break down the other end but the shot is blocked.
- 82'
Franck Ribery is convinced Bayern should have penalty for a Pepe handball, but it seemed to hit his chest. That was a golden chance for Bayern, with Ribery breaking free in the area but unable to find Robben.
- 82'
The corner eludes everyone, though it could easily have been headed home.
- 81'
Alaba races down the left flank and wins a corner off Arbeloa.
- 81'
Gomez is penalised for a nudge on Arbeloa, who perhaps goes down a little easily.
- 79'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Di Maria comes off to be replaced by Granero.
- 79'
Alonso brings down Ribery, who rolls over a few times to try to get him sent off. He fails.
