📸 Bayern's season takes an unusual turn against Real Madrid

Bayern Munich have been Europe's most prolific team this season... until now.

The Bundesliga champions-elect usually make short work of opponents but it hasn't been the story in their Champions League quarter-final first leg tie with Real Madrid .

Things didn't go to plan in the first half at the Bernabéu as Vincent Kompany's side threatened with Dayot Upamecano and Serge Gnabry both going close to goal.

Remarkably, both players fluffed their lines in situations where it was harder to miss.

Will those uncharacteristic blunders come back to haunt the Bavarians?
