Bayern Win 2–1 at Real Madrid Behind Superb Neuer

The away win puts Bayern in control of the tie with a draw enough in next week's return.

Overview

  • Bayern, which won Tuesday at the Bernabéu, carry a 2–1 first‑leg lead into the April 15 return match in Munich.
  • Luis Díaz opened the scoring in the 41st minute and Harry Kane, cleared after recent ankle trouble, made it 2–0 seconds after halftime.
  • Manuel Neuer, 40, delivered a standout display with several one‑on‑one stops against Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior to protect the lead.
  • Mbappé cut the deficit in the 74th minute to keep Real in range, and Madrid will miss suspended midfielder Aurélien Tchouaméni in the second leg.
  • Bayern say any call on extending Neuer’s contract will wait until after April, as the club also celebrated its first regular‑time win at the Bernabéu in 25 years.
