Home / Football WATCH: Upamecano misses huge early chance to put Bayern Munich ahead vs Real Madrid in Champions League tie Check out our report and watch all the goals from Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich Written by Cian Cheesbrough Last Update: April 7, 2026 08:28:54 pm BST 3 min read Dayot Upamecano missed a huge early chance to put Bayern Munich ahead less than 10 minutes into their Champions League quarter-final with Real Madrid. The visitors had made an encouraging start at the Bernabeu, causing some nervy moments for stand-in goalkeeper Andriy Lunin after Thiabut Courtois was ruled out.And with only nine minutes on the clock, Bayern got the chance they would have dreamed of before the game but it unfortunately fell to the wrong player as centre-back Upamecano fluffed his lines.After a free-kick came into the box from the left-hand side, striker Harry Kane met the ball but, rather than go for goal, opted to head the ball across goal for his team-mate who was in a better position.But with Lunin all at sea, Upamecano got his shot all wrong inside the six-yard box, completely mis-hitting the shot and allowing the defender to clear.Minutes later, Real grew into the game and threatened to immediately punish the France international, with Kylian Mbappe denied a goal whilst one-on-one with Manuel Neuer.The German stopper then dived down to his left to parry Vinicius Juniors shot in what has been an electrifying start to the first leg.Table of Contents1 Where to watch Madrid v Bayern: TV channel, live online streams2 Real Madrid v Bayern Munich statsWhere to watch Madrid v Bayern: TV channel, live online streamsKick-off on Tuesday is at 20:00 BST (15:00 ET / 12:00 PT).
