I’ll leave you with Sid Lowe’s match report. Goodnight!

“This is why you guys come to these games,” Vincent Kompany had said, and here especially. For the quality, the chaos, and the goals, the noise, the drama and the history that invades every moment, even when it seems to be finally left behind. Another wild night at the Santiago Bernabéu seemed to have set up for another barely believable finish, another of those crazy comebacks, but in the end Bayern Munich held on, setting up what is sure to be a special second leg instead.

Harry Kane's reaction

I thought we played some really good stuff today. There were areas where we could have done even better; maybe the final ball. We had some good chances but credit to them, so did they – Manuel [Neuer] made some important saves. Overall we’re happy with the win.

I was trying to find my wife and family [when he was pictured staring into the away end at the final whistle] but I couldn’t quite pick them out. They were in there somewhere.

We’re in a good position but as always, it’s a one-goal lead and that can change quickly. We’ll try to perform as we did today.
