Bayern Munich 2-2 Real Madrid LIVE REACTION: Vinicius Jr. rescues draw for visitors after Kane penalty in Champions League semi-final first leg
Bayern Munich and Real Madrid played out an entertaining 2-2 draw in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final tie.
The two European giants were unable to be separated at the Allianz Arena with Vinicius Jr. scoring a crucial late equaliser for Real.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side had taken the lead in the first half through the Brazilian but then saw their advantage disappear in a matter of minutes.
Leroy Sane levelled with his first goal since October before Harry Kane netted from the penalty spot straight after to turn things around.
Bayern then dominated the game and looked comfortable until the final 10 minutes of the game when Kim Min-jae gave away a spot-kick.
Vincius stepped up and scored under the pressure to claim what could be a crucial draw in Germany ahead of the second leg back at the Bernabeu.

Vinicius Jr. has given his thoughts on the 2-2 draw tonight.
Real Madrid's goalscorer said: "We always play to win, want to win but we know what the Champions League is like.
"You can't gift the ball away, you can't concede goals because there will always be top rivals to take advantage.

Harry Kane has spoken about his 'confrontation' with Jude Bellingham before he took his penalty to make it 2-1 to Bayern.
Bellingham seemed to try and get in the face of his England teammate and to put him off ahead of the spot kick.
But it didn't have any impact on Kane, who said: "To be honest I don't know what he was saying.
"He was mumbling... I'd have to ask him what he said.
"Once I'm in that moment I'm in that zone and I block everything out but I'm sure he was saying something to try and put me off!
"Thankfully it was okay for me."
