Bayern Munich are on course to reach next month's Champions League final at their Allianz Arena home after Mario Gomez hit a late winner to earn a 2-1 victory over Real Madrid in Tuesday's semi-final first leg.

“It's the first defeat in this Champions League for us but it's not one that leaves me with negative feelings.” said Real coach Jose Mourinho. The Bavarians preserved their remarkable record of having never lost at home to Madrid, with nine wins and a draw in their 10 meetings in Munich since 1976. Here are the highlights of the match in pictures. – Photos by Agencies and text by AFP
