Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich LIVE: Champions League team news and line-ups as Jude Bellingham starts for hosts

Kane is just one goal away from joining Wayne Rooney on 30 Champions League goals, the most scored by an English player in the competition.

It would also move Kane level with Samuel Eto’o and Kaka. Of players who are still active in Europe, only Robert Lewandowski, Kylian Mbappe, Mohamed Salah, Erling Haaland and Antoine Griezmann would have more.

Kane has already moved ahead of Raheem Sterling (27), Paul Scholes (24), Frank Lampard (23) and Steve Gerrard (21).

The secret to Kane’s success in front of goal? Cappuccino, according to Bayern’s Thomas Tuchel, at least.

“How much cappuccino he drinks a day,” Tuchel said when asked if there was anything about Kane that surprised him.

“It’s ridiculous. It was very surprising. Every time I go to the kitchen, he’s on the coffee machine making a cappuccino.”

Here are some photos from around the ground:

Real Madrid have announced their starting XI to face Bayern Munich, and Jude Bellingham is in the team.

Harry Kane has enjoyed a record-breaking first season at Bayern Munich with 44 goals in 44 appearances. That includes 36 goals in 32 Bundesliga games, the most in a debut campaign even in Germany.

His Champions League record has been pretty strong, too. With eight goals in 11, Kane is joint-top scorer in the Champions League this season, along with Kylian Mbappe.

Mbappe is out, of course, so won’t be able to add to that. Kane’s closest challenger for the golden boot is Madrid’s Vinicius and Rodrygo, who have five goals each.

Maybe there’s been an element of Real Madrid’s backline almost gaslighting teams all this time, defending off that aura. You don’t have to go around them repeatedly in the way Manchester City did – just go at them. That almost seemed to be proven a mere four minutes later when Jamal Musiala similarly went through.

Lucas Vazquez was apparently so confused by this that he made an unnecessary foul, with Kane then rolling in the penalty.

This was in the middle of two spells when Bayern could maybe have put the game out of sight. They had enough chances. Kane almost finished a big one, flashing just wide. Before that, he had just been a touch too slow when put through on goal.

It seemed a vintage Real Madrid performance. They’d done the usual number on their opponents, while showing Thomas Tuchel hasn’t got many games left.

There was even the fact that Kroos and Vinicius exposed an area that has been a problem for Bayern all season. They’ve never properly covered that space in front of the defence, unless it is with massed ranks as against Arsenal.

Then, however, Bayern did something that most don’t do against Madrid. They went direct.

Some of that was itself directly influenced by a key Tuchel change. He introduced Raphael Guerreiro for Leon Goretzka, and Real Madrid didn’t really know how to respond to his movement.

Suddenly there was that bit more space for Bayern’s attackers, with Leroy Sane sprinting into it and then thumping the ball past Andriy Lunin to score. It was as brilliant as it was blunt.

For all the evidence we have of 14 European Cups and so many world-class players, like Vinicius Junior, there is still sometimes a mystery over how the modern Real Madrid have actually managed this. They seem to leave so much to pure chance, in a way they shouldn’t even need to.

There is obviously intent and design here, given their recent record of success, but does that really involve the opposition getting into the box so often?

There was one spell in the first half when Madrid had nine players back in their box, all waiting to pounce on any open space. It was like a super-deluxe Sean Dyche Burnley.

Bayern had been doing an impressive job of forcing them back but, the longer they went without scoring, the more you sensed what was coming. Dyche’s Burnley never had anyone like Toni Kroos and Vinicius doing that.

Bayern could have done with a bit more defensive robustness themselves. As good as Kroos and Vinicius are, the German was allowed to amble into the middle and just pick a pass through the centre. The casual nature of it was only emphasised by Vinicius’s speed, which was matched by Kim Min-jae inexplicably thundering out in defence. Vinicius was left to just simply roll the ball past Manuel Neuer.

A game that had almost everything was never going to leave Real Madrid with nothing. That’s just not how they do things in the Champions League. Carlo Ancelotti’s side probably deserved to lose. They were definitely the inferior side. Their English star had a much more challenging night than Bayern Munich’s English star.

And yet it is the 14-time champions that of course leave a big European night that bit more satisfied. Real Madrid have a 2-2 draw and now have the chance to win this semi-final in their own stadium.

It didn’t quite go the way everyone expected after Vinicius Junior’s opening goal, given how impressively Bayern Munich rallied. And yet the Germans – and even Harry Kane – will feel they could have scored far more.

That subtle psychology might be crucial for the second leg as Bayern try to save their season and Madrid only seek to embellish theirs, and their record. While Kane did score a penalty, it wasn’t a night to enhance Jude Bellingham’s reputation. He was substituted and had one of his most anonymous games for the club, ensuring Ancelotti found him quite dispensable. That might only rile Bellingham further for the second leg. There is still a job to be done, and a massive game to come.

The match ended in a 2-2 draw and Kane revealed that the 20-year-old told him what he’d said after the match.

“In the moment, I didn’t know what he said but I spoke to him after and he said: ‘I know you’re going to go left of the keeper’.” said Kane,

“On the pitch, I knew he was there but I didn’t know what he said. But I went left anyway. It was nice for me because I saw the keeper go a little bit early and I put it away.”

The penalty was Kane’s 43rd goal in 43 games in all competitions this season and helps Bayern in their aim of finishing the season by lifting the Champions League.

“It’s been a good season so far,” said Kane, who joined Bayern from Tottenham for an initial £86.4m last summer.

“Everything we’re fighting for this year is in this competition. It’ll be tough. We have to go [to the Bernabeu for the second leg] with full belief.

“I’m here for many years. It’s not a one-off year I’m here for. Of course at the start of the season the expectation was to win trophies. The Champions League is the biggest one. If we can somehow get our hands on that one, it would be an amazing season.

“These are the big games. The atmosphere was incredible. This is exactly why I came here, I want to be playing in these big games, these big moments.”
