Bayern's goals were scored by Leroy Sane (53) and Harry Kane (57 – penalty), while Vinicius Junior scored for Real (24, 83 – penalty).
The Bavarians categorically dominated the first 20 minutes of the game, having good opportunities through Sane (1), whose shot was rejected by Lunin, Kane (6), whose restart did not give the Ukrainian goalkeeper great emotions, and again through Sane (7), which was imprecise from an awkward position in the box.
Against this background, Real Madrid scored in its first more serious action, through Vinicius (24), launched by Kroos in the center. The Brazilian thus scored for the third consecutive season in the Champions League semi-finals.
Thomas Tuchel's team had a chance to equalize at the end of the first half, but Harry Kane sent a free kick from the edge of the box wide (42).
Madrid were close to doubling their advantage after the break, but Neuer saved the situation with compatriot Toni Kroos' shot (51).
Bayern restored the tie through Sane (53), who entered the box and shot to the short corner. For the German international, it was the first goal since October.
The situation continued in favor of the hosts and Musiala won a penalty, after being fouled in the box by Lucas Vazquez, and Harry Kane converted flawlessly (57).
However, the striker missed a good opportunity (66), his shot from the box being deflected by Rudiger, and at the corner that followed, Bayern's other Englishman, Dier, resumed with his head, but in the direction of goalkeeper Lunin (67).
Real Madrid had a good chance to score through Vinicius Junior (79), but the Brazilian, released by Modric, could not beat Neuer with a corner kick.
“Los Blancos” they equalized from the penalty spot (83), through Vinicius Junior, after the South Korean Kim fouled Rodrygo.
Bayern have eight consecutive games without a win against Real Madrid. The Bavarians have scored in 50 of their last 52 home games in the Champions League.
The coach of the Iberians, Carlo Ancelotti, equaled Pep Guardiola, with 10 semi-finals of the Champions League as a coach (record). Ancelotti coached Bayern for 15 months before being sacked in 2017.
