Real dominated proceedings, but misfired with several chances as a gritty Bayern put their domestic woes aside to almost eliminate the Spaniards in their own back yard. Eventually, it was ecstasy for the home team and their fans while the visiting German giants were engulfed in agony as another memorable night of action in the Champions League came to an end.
