Kane and Diaz strike as Bayern edge Real Madrid in Bernabeu thriller

— Match Report

Bayern Munich took a priceless advantage back to Germany after a 2-1 win at Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final, with Luis Diaz and Harry Kane striking either side of half-time at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

Kylian Mbappe's tap-in from Trent Alexander-Arnold's cross in the 74th minute pulled one back for the hosts and set up a definitive second leg at the Allianz Arena next Wednesday, in a breathless tie that produced 20 shots each according to Sky Sports and a total of 39 by the Guardian's count.

Bayern's fearless start

Vincent Kompany had told his players to show no fear and they went at Madrid from the first whistle. Konrad Laimer could have scored after 43 seconds, Michael Olise four minutes later, and Andriy Lunin had to tip a Joshua Kimmich shot from a corner over the bar.
