The visitors struck first through Luis D\u00edaz late in the first half, before Kane doubled the lead just 20 seconds into the second period with a clinical finish.<\/p>\n<p>Real Madrid responded through Kylian Mbapp\u00e9, who pulled one back in the 74th minute after a well-delivered cross from Trent Alexander-Arnold. However, the Spanish giants were unable to find an equaliser despite late pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Kane, who had been a doubt before kickoff due to injury, wasted no time making an impact. His early second-half strike marked his 49th goal of the season and underlined his importance to Bayern\u2019s European ambitions.<\/p>\n<p>The German side now hold a strong advantage heading into the return leg, with history favouring them after winning the first leg away from home in most past ties. The victory also ended Bayern\u2019s long winless run against Madrid in the competition.<\/p>\n<p>Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer played a crucial role, producing several key saves to deny Madrid, including efforts from Mbapp\u00e9 and Vin\u00edcius J\u00fanior.<\/p>\n<p>Despite flashes of brilliance, Madrid struggled to break down a disciplined Bayern defence, leaving the Spanish side with work to do in the second leg in Germany.<\/p>\n<p>With momentum on their side, Bayern will now look to finish the job and secure a place in the semifinals, while Madrid face an uphill battle to keep their Champions League hopes alive.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<span id=\"wordads-inline-marker\" style=\"display: none;\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><!-- #comments --><\/p><\/div>\n<p>\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Disappointing #Real #Madrid #Lose #Santiago #Bernabeu #ZimEye<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Disappointing Real Madrid Lose At Santiago Bernabeu\u2026 Sports Correspondent \u2013 Bayern Munich claimed a vital 2-1 away win against Real&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":55442,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32,11],"tags":[10375,3011,6694,48,2329,202,1008,10374],"class_list":["post-55441","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mzansi","category-world","tag-bernabeu","tag-disappointing","tag-eduzim","tag-lose","tag-madrid","tag-news","tag-real","tag-santiago"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55441","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55441"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55441\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":55443,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55441\/revisions\/55443"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55442"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55441"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55441"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55441"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
