Real Madrid v Bayern: Manuel Neuer of Bayern Munich looks dejected
What a start for Real Madrid - just four minutes in and they have a penalty. Real Madrid's Angel Di Maria smashes a shot against the hand of David Alaba as the Munich player dives in front of him in an attempt to block it. Very harsh decision by the referee. Cristiano Ronaldo, who has scored his last 24 spot-kicks, sends Manuel Neuer the wrong way to make it 25 in a row. Advantage Madrid Photograph: Christof Koepsel/Bongarts/Getty Images
Real Madrid v Bayern: Ronaldo celebrates after scoring against Bayern Munich
In the 14th minute, Ronaldo makes it 2-0 when he gets on the end of a slick move and slots the ball past Neuer from 15 yards Photograph: Javier Soriano/AFP/Getty Images

Real Madrid v Bayern: Bayern Munich's midfielder Arjen Robben scores a penalty
Having already squandered a guilt-edged chance to equalise when he shinned the ball over the bar from close range, Arjen Robben makes amends when he scores from the penalty spot. Iker Casillas got a hand to Robben's kick but it wasn't enough to keep the ball out. The tie's level now overall Photograph: Dani Pozo/AFP/Getty Images

Real Madrid v Bayern: Bayern Munich's Gomez tries to score against Real Madrid
Late in the match, with extra-time moments away, Gomez misses a glorious chance to win the tie for Bayern. He receives the ball six yards out but instead of shooting he decides to cut back and adjust his footing - and with that, the chance is smothered. Extra-time it is, then Photograph: Felix Ordonez/Reuters
