Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich midfielder Klara Buhl speaking to Disney+: "I am exhausted, but that's totally normal after this game.

"It's mixed feelings - we started not good, Barcelona scored early, but we were really patient and disciplined and defended a lot.

"In the first half we struggled to escape the high press of Barcelona. In the second half we took one or two touches to get out and used speed in behind.

"We knew it would be like that. We just kept going and scored. We believe in our chance. At Camp Nou it will be a difficult game and we will need a new match plan. But we can travel there and play our game."

I have no idea why we're seeing it so much more in the women's game. It's almost like we're seeing copycat situations.

It's so strange.

I know Katie McCabe wasn't sent off against Chelsea but we can't say this one wasn't a red card - the McCabe one was a mistake.

Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich forward Pernille Harder speaking to Disney+: "It is difficult to play against a team like Barcelona that keep the ball. We worked really hard, got the goal and then after the red card, we just had to fight in the last minutes.

"The discipline and defence was first thing we had to do and then we had to be brave and believe we'd get the chances.

"In the second half, we tried to be a little bit more aggressive and play a bit longer and there was space in behind."

This game had everything.

Fair play to Bayern Munich as I was critical of them at half-time. They were fearless in the second half.

If they can go on like that next week, who knows?

Caption competition?

Fair to say Bayern boss Jose Barcola was unimpressed with the sending off.

Barcelona

Barcelona midfielder Alexia Putellas speaking to Disney+: "It's a tough team but in the first half, we kept a clean sheet and in the second half, we had more control. In the end, we should have scored another goal with one player more.

"We knew the [7-1] was a crazy result because we were so good, almost perfect and they were not good. We knew this game would be different and as you saw, we were right.

"This is the semi-final of the Champions League - a big game. We are grateful to play in this stadium - the supporters were amazing."

As the average positions of the Barcelona players show, the visitors had Bayern Munich pinned inside their own half for much of that match.

Barcelona couldn't find a second goal though.

Unfortunately for Bayern, Barcelona only seem to score bangers against them in this competition. The finish from Pajor was unbelievable. Nine times out of ten they go over the bar or hit your shin. She makes it look easy. She's a fox in the box.

That will do it.

A thrilling first leg encounter ends all square.

Ewa Pajor gave Barcelona an early lead with a brilliant finish, but Bayern worked hard and drew level through Franziska Kett.

She went from hero to zero when she was sent off for pulling the hair of Barcelona's Salma Paralluelo, but Bayern hung on.

The Germans will head to Catalunya next week on a level footing.

The ball falls at the feet of Salma Paralluelo, but the Barcelona winger rifles over from eight yards out. That was the chance.

It's constant Barcelona pressure but Bayern are equal to everything.

Pernille Harder looks to break, but is brought down by Clara Serrajordi who is booked.

Bayern Munich have five more minutes to hang on.

Patri Guijarro sees her overhead kick attempt blocked, before a Mapi Leon piledriver is palmed away by Ena Mahmutovic.

This is a siege now.

It's all hands to the pump for Bayern Munich - this time a Patri header takes a deflection and Barca have another corner.

Following Kett's dismissal, Bayern Munich manager Jose Barcala was shown a straight red card for foul and abusive language.

The decision stands, so Bayern are down to 10 players for the final 10 minutes.

There is a VAR check .

Barcelona substitute Salma Paralluelo looks to make an instant impact as she cuts in from the right side of the penalty area, but her curling strike towards the far post is wide.
