Welcome back, Real Madrid haven't been in a Champions League final for 12 years, Bayern Munich are the holders
and would just hate to effectively give that trophy up in front of their own fans.
Your commentators for this semi-final, second leg here at the Allianz Arena are Andy Townsend and Clive Tilsley.
Before the temperature is raised here, the volume will be lowered in honour of two special football men
in this stadium just a year and a week ago.
And beat Barcelona 4-0 that night, they're in search of similar heights this evening.
In search of a fourth final in five years, nobody's managed that for 40 years and more.
Hoping, dreaming, obsessing about reliving some of their own history.
Champions last 12 years ago, finalists last 12 years ago.
These two clubs think this should be the final.
Chelsea and Atletico Madrid think otherwise.
But unlike a year ago, both semi-finals are in the balance after 90 minutes.
It's the best team in Europe.
Bayern have not managed to keep their opponents out in any of their last eight home games.
Di Maria in towards Benzema.
The same one as last week.
Ball from Ronaldo.
It was against one of its former clubs.
Licking with Philipp Lahm.
Here's Muller.
Thomas Muller.
Pepe just about reached it.
Muller.
Pepe sticking close.
Halle's gone on.
Cross is deflected rather awkwardly.
Boateng felt that he had to deal with it.
Cointreau.
Want to provide more cover for Fabio Cointreau.
Yeah, sometimes you can't, I'm afraid.
And that was one of those situations.
Cointreau's forward ball.
Delivered by Neuer after a fashion.
Now Gareth Bale's got an opportunity here.
Can't hit the target.
But he had time to think about it and said himself Neuer didn't have any time to get back.
Ronaldo and now the chance at the counter.
The BBC are on the move.
Benzema, Bale and Cristiano.
Quickly four in the counter-attack.
One of them Benzema with Cristiano Ronaldo three in the centre.
But his first touch was heavy.
Modric with the corner.
From Sergio Ramos.
And now Madrid take the lead in Munich.
Three goals to keep their hands on the trophy.
Scored by Sergio Ramos.
Great header.
You know what I said before the game about the fact that
I felt there was a goal in Madrid here this evening.
I didn't think it would come like that.
Not from a set play, not from a corner.
It was all fair.
Powered Madrid towards Lisbon.
Here's Benzema towards Ronaldo.
And that's late from Dante at Wild.
And that'll be a yellow card.
I've got too many friends on the field right now.
Pepe who seems to be wanting to get involved everywhere.
He doesn't need to.
His team have just scored again.
They've got a fantastic lead here.
Di Maria.
Pepe got a flick and it's in.
First Champions League final for 12 years.
Pepe got a little flick on.
And his centre-back partner Sergio Ramos buried it.
You're two up Carlo.
Wow.
What a start to this game.
Ronaldo.
In towards Benzema.
Neuer claims it after a fashion lead.
Almost round for Di Maria.
Robin is Philipp Lahm.
Towards Mandzukic.
Alaba challenging for it.
Many red shirts in the box.
Ribery trying to turn.
It's an effort on goal.
Cristiano Ronaldo.
As Benzema needs him.
He may go it alone.
Is it far away?
He's just going to love this now.
Benzema.
Ronaldo streaking down the centre.
Benzema didn't get his head up.
Continuity.
Schweinsteiger.
It's towards the head of Mandzukic.
Pepe dealt with it.
Cross.
Ribery.
That was Schweinsteiger.
And every counter-attack spells trouble here for Bayern Munich.
Benzema finding Bale.
Gareth Bale.
Cristiano Ronaldo.
3-0 Real Madrid.
Unstoppable.
Another record for Cristiano Ronaldo.
15 goals in a Champions League season.
And not even Lionel Messi has managed that.
Incredible stuff.
Brilliant, brilliant football that is.
That was a big, big gulp of water that Pep Guardiola just took.
Initial ball from Di Maria is perfect.
The support play from Bale is excellent.
The vision, the awareness to just drop that off to Ronaldo.
He's behind him, he's OK.
And then the finish, it ends up in the back of the net.
And Ono is not used to picking him out.
Cedric is taking a huge chance here.
With his participation in the Champions League final.
Down the centre.
Halberhal still going.
Come to mind.
Benzema forward towards Di Maria.
Neuer has to come racing from his left.
Cointreau away as Forrest Feinsteiger.
Sliding challenge from Xabi Alonso.
What are they thinking of these two?
And the card's coming out.
And Xabi Alonso is out of the Champions League final.
Crazy.
Back by Bortet.
Robben wants more.
And another corner.
Into Robben.
He's onside here.
Robben away.
Mandzukic.
Feinsteiger.
Crashing challenge.
Well timed by Pepe.
Modric.
Sending the sprint relay team going again.
And it's Neuer who comes out of his penalty area
to meet Cristiano Ronaldo.
Went by Munich.
Failed to win the Champions League final
in this stadium two years ago
against Chelsea.
That was about as low as you could imagine
this great club ever been.
Champions League final.
It was missed by Pepe.
Close to Alaba.
Ribery.
This might run for Muller.
Across comes Sergio Ramos.
Ramos has fouled.
Robben.
Ribery was deflected.
Feinsteiger was waiting
to come to Alaba.
It was an important header by Sergio Ramos
in front of his goalkeeper
which somehow forced the ball away for a corner.
Just wonder again if Alaba could have hit that
volley.
Powerful man with his left foot
but his first touch wasn't great either.
They just allowed the white shirts to smother his chance.
Into the path of Di Maria.
There is the target
headed away by Borte.
It's Robben.
Just very far away.
We've seen him score from that
kind of position, that kind of range
many times before.
Good effort from Ian Robben.
Robben.
Feinsteiger.
Feinsteiger from Ribery.
There is no drive well handled
by Iker Casillas.
But that's better.
He's got Ronaldo with him.
Gareth Bell trying to run away
from Javi Martínez now.
Better than he can but
he's very clever at what he does.
Kroos striking from range.
It's fairly comfortable for Casillas.
The last time they won it,
Casillas.
This will come for Fabio Contral.
Ronaldo is there.
It's Ronaldo.
Ronaldo did pretty well against him actually.
Ribery.
Ronaldo.
To Benzema.
Di Maria in a race with Neuer.
Here's Götze.
La.
Pizarro.
Chalbi Alonso who is going to be suspended.
Götze.
That's great skill.
Very nearly a great goal.
Very good skill, wasn't it?
Not bad.
Just dropped it onto his thigh
then dragged it back, spun
and created a little bit of space.
Alaba to Kroos.
That's well hit.
It wasn't too far away.
Lucky.
It was a good hit.
Shade with his right foot.
Tony Kroos chops back inside.
Plenty of support.
Plenty of pacey support.
Di Maria's ball comes off La.
Ronaldo might fancy this one
just to put the final lid on it.
What do you mean might?
Cristiano Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo
is trying to step into a shooting position.
He's got one via a free kick
conceded by Tony Kroos.
He could have, couldn't he?
It's Ronaldo.
To the perfect night.
Two for Ronaldo.
Four for Real Madrid.
Bayern Munich blown away
by Real Madrid.
Our Champions League finalists again
at last.
Wow.
It's just been such a special night
for Real Madrid.
It really has.
Because he was that bit closer
I was just actually wondering to myself
whether or not he would try
and go under the wall.
They jumped on the previous one.
Bayern Munich's defence
of the European title ends here.
Guardiola's first season charge
and it's not a bad one.
It's not a difficult save
for Iker Casillas.
The European Cup moves back
within the reach of Real Madrid.
Champions League finalists again
after 12 long years.
The giant trophy that put them
on the map nearly 60 years ago
is in their sights again.
It's 2014
the year of
La Decima
a 10th European title
for the original royals
and now the European champion
as a player
will lead the club to a European final
in his first season at the helm.
