Luis Diaz and Harry Kane scored the goals that gave dominant Bayern Munich a crucial 2-1 Champions League quarter-final first leg win away to Real Madrid on Tuesday.
Kylian Mbappe’s strike 16 minutes from time gave record 15-time winners Real a lifeline at their Bernabeu home in a gripping battle.
Bayern, arguably the strongest team in Europe this season, produced a masterclass in the first half and could have been several goals ahead.
Instead they had only one from Diaz, which Kane added to after the interval, but French superstar Mbappe’s goal kept Alvaro Arbeloa’s side in the tie.
In the other game, Kai Havertz snatched a last-gasp winner as Arsenal bounced back from their domestic distress to steal a 1-0 victory at Sporting Lisbon.

Mikel Arteta’s side arrived at the Jose Alvalade Stadium rocked by successive defeats against Manchester City in the League Cup final and Southampton in the FA Cup quarter-finals.
Once again, the Gunners were below their best but they emerged with the win thanks to David Raya’s fine saves and Havertz’s clinical finish in stoppage-time.
Arsenal will be firm favourites to advance to the semi-finals in the second leg in north London on April 15, but they will have to improve significantly to win the tournament for the first time.
