Bayern Munich 1-2 Real Madrid – 1st Leg
[ UEFA Champions League 2017 – Quarterfinal]

45′ (Penalty miss) Arturo Vidal missed a penalty to double Bayern’s lead just before the halftime.
47′ 1 – 1 Cristiano Ronaldo cancels out Vidal’s opener at the start of second half.
61′ [ Red Card ] Javier Martinez was sent off for his second yellow.
77′ 1 – 2 Cristiano Ronaldo won the game scoring his and Real Madrid’s second of the night and put them in driving seat going into the second leg.
Match Preview & Team Lineups: Real Madrid lost against Paris Saint Germain in the opening pre-season game but they produced a superb 3-2 win over Chelsea last weekend. Zidane will be without several key players including the likes of Ronaldo, Bale, Toni Kroos and Navas while Karim Benzema is also ruled out due to minor injury. Which means Alvaro Morata is set to start upfront with Luka Modric, Casemiro, James Rodriguez, Isco and Mateo Kovacic playing in packed midfield.
Bayern Munich on the other hand will be without Manuel Neuer, Robert Lewandowski, Arjan Robben, Thomas Muller, Renato Sanchez, Jerome Boeteng. But they still have solid starting lineup which can cause problems for Real Madrid.
