MUNICH: Cristiano Ronaldo failed to make the scoresheet for the first time in 11 Champions League ties but Real Madrid still won 2-1 away to Bayern Munich in their semi-final first leg.

Madrid will not be complacent after conceding a three-goal at home in the second leg to Juventus in the quarter-final but their game management was superior to the German champions whose finishing was fatally sloppy.

Joshua Kimmich put Bayern ahead in the 28th minute but Brazil leftback Marcelo levelled in the 44th minute and Marco Asensio punished a mistake by Rafinha in the 57th.
