preamble
Something like this happened last week…
…And if tonight’s second leg at the Bernabéu is even half as interesting, we will be very lucky indeed. Can Harry Kane and Eric Dier reach a second Champions League final? Will Jude Bellingham make his first appearance? Can Bayern win in a place they have lost nine of their last 13 visits and won just twice? Kick-off in Madrid is 8pm BST, 9pm local time. It’s on!
