"The first error is made by the linesman, the second comes from the referee," Tuchel said.

Six-time Champions League winners Bayern Munich head into Wednesday's second semi-final at Real Madrid, looking to change the narrative surrounding their disappointing season.

Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen extended their season-long unbeaten run to 48 games with a 5-1 win at Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday.

Bayern, who are in second place on 69 points, two ahead of Stuttgart in third with two games left, face Real in Spain on Wednesday after their 2-2 draw in Munich.

Toni Kroos has not decided where his future lies but his team-mates are hoping he chooses to stay at Real Madrid after his Champions League masterclass against Bayern Munich.

Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior scored a double, including an 83rd-minute equalising penalty, to snatch a 2-2 draw at Bayern Munich in Tuesday's Champions League semifinal first leg.

Real Madrid are on a mission to clinch their 15th UEFA Champions League title but face Bayern Munich in a high-voltage clash in the semifinals of the competition. Can Bayern stop Real in their tracks? Real, on the other hand, only have the mighty German in their way and if they make it to the finals, the odds weigh heavily in their favour because Los Blancos have a reputation for not losing finals. The last time they lost a final in Europe was 43 years ago. Since then, they've won all of the eight finales they've played in. 

The Munich clash also pits two England superstars against each other.

Harry Kane has his eyes set on Robert Lewandowski's record for most Bundesliga goals in a season after scoring twice in a 2-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt, but the England striker acknowledges he needs "to get a move on".

The Bavarians, who saw Bayer Leverkusen end their 11-year-Bundesliga reign by securing the league crown two weeks ago, have only the Champions League trophy to fight for with departing coach Thomas Tuchel eager to leave on a high note.

Honorary Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness said it would be "a catastrophe" for Julian Nagelsmann if Germany are not successful at Euro 2024 after turning down the chance to return to his club.

Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel said forward Serge Gnabry "will play and will score" in Tuesday's Champions League semi-final first leg at home to Real Madrid, but Leroy Sane's status for the match is in doubt.

The former Manchester United boss said "there has been contact" between himself and Bayern but would not be drawn on whether he would take the offer.

Bayern Munich are to honour the late German football legend Franz Beckenbauer with a statue outside their Allianz Arena home ground, a club supporters foundation announced on Sunday.

Julian Nagelsmann has signed a contract extension with the German men's national team, the domestic football association said Friday, putting to bed speculation of a quick return to club football.

"We were very close, that is the reality. It's painful, but we have to learn from this. We had our moments, especially in the first half," Arteta said.

Arsenal, who have never won the Champions League, travel to the home of Bayern with little time to lick their wounds, targeting their first semi-final in the competition since 2009

Bayer Leverkusen's record-breaking run to their first Bundesliga title was no fluke, with a 16-month plan coming to fruition.

Bayern's win means Xabi Alonso's Leverkusen, 13 points clear of the Bavarians, need to beat Werder Bremen on Sunday to lift the Bundesliga for the first time.

“They are fine and only went to hospital for a routine check-up,” said a spokesperson for the England captain.
