Champions League - Benzema strikes as Real Madrid edge Bayern in tense semi


            Champions League - Benzema strikes as Real Madrid edge Bayern in tense semi
.
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.
