Karim Benzema struck a priceless winner as Real Madrid edged Bayern Munich 1-0 in an intriguing Champions League semi-final first-leg at the Bernabeu
The France
international finished off a lightning counter attack on 19 minutes when
he coolly converted Fabio Coentrao's low cross from the left.
Bayern dominated possession from kick off but struggled to manufacture chances against a resilient Real rearguard.
The hosts looked the more threatening on the break, however, and should have extended their advantage but both Cristiano Ronaldo and Angel Di Maria blazed over when well placed.
Pep
Guardiola's men continued to press late on and almost levelled when
Mario Goetze fizzed a volley straight at Iker Casillas five minutes from
time.
