Bayern Munich beat Atlético Madrid in their Champions League semi-final first leg, with Lennart Karl's run in behind the Atlético defence proving decisive. Harry Kane, who had earlier said he hoped to replace bad memories of the Wanda Metropolitano with good ones, was unable to score on his first European appearance since winning the Ballon d'Or. Bayern were on top from almost the start, controlling the match in physical and footballing terms. Atlético, who reached the same stage last season, could mostly only defend. The second leg is due on 5 June, when Bayern will get another chance to win the trophy in the stadium where Kane lost the 2019 final.

Why it mattersKarl's run in behind decided a first leg Bayern controlled throughout, and the return on 5 June gives Bayern another chance to win the trophy at the stadium where Kane lost the 2019 final.
