Real Madrid suffered a 2–1 defeat to Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals on Tuesday night, but a strong finish will embolden the hosts ahead of their trip to Germany next week.
The two European giants could barely catch their breath in the first half, racing end-to-end in what was a thrilling affair. One lapse in concentration from Los Blancos, though, opened the door for Luis Díaz to give Bayern the lead in the 41st minute.
