Full time: Bayern Munich 0-4 Real Madrid
The referee blows his final whistle, Real Madrid reach the Champions League final for the first time since 2002
90 Ronaldo heaps more misery on Bayern with his second of the night, sending in a low free-kick home from the edge of the area. What a night for the Madrid club.
90 GOOOAAAAL FOR REAL MADRID!!
88 Bayern fans are still cheering on their side despite the humiliating defeat.
84 Real make their final substitution. Angel Di Maria is replaced with Casemiro.
80 Real are on the brink of reaching the final for the first time since 2002. They are on course to win a record-extending tenth title.
80 Real make their second substitution. Benzema makes away for playmaker Isco.
78 Another chance for Bayern! Kroos blasts a shot that goes just over the crossbar.
76 Goetze wastes a chance to score a goal for Bayern! He flicks the ball past Varane following some good work from Robben on the right but his effort from a tight angle goes over the bar.
75 Sergio Ramos, Real Madrid's hero tonight, is replaced with Raphael Varane.
74 Bayern's shy attempts hardly trouble Real's defence.
71 Bayern make a double substitution. Ribery is replaced with Mario Goetze and Claudio Pizarro is replaced with Mueller.
69 Modric is at the heart of Real Madrid's counter attacks. His neat crossfield passes are vital.
65 Neuer blocks a goal-bound shot from Benzema following a goal-mouth scramble!
64 Bayern's Toni Kroos tries his luck from distance but his shot is easily collected by Casillas.
61 Thomas Mueller ghosts behind Real's backline to latch onto a throw-in but his shot from a tight angle is blocked by Manuel Neuer.
60 Both sides are producing a laboured display now. Chances are few and far between.
56 Pepe is producing an assured display in the heart of Real Madrid's defence, just like the first leg.
55 Real are still dangerous on the break. The pace of Ronaldo and Bale causes constant menace to a fragile backline.
52 Bayern are applying pressure in the early stages of the second half.
48 Will Bayern be able to at least narrow the deficit?
The second half is underway
The referee blows his half-time whistle
45+1 Ronaldo's ensuing free-kick goes high over.

44 Bayern's crosses are repeatedly cleared by impressive duo Ramos and Pepe.
41 A shot by David Alaba from the edge of the area is deflected off the head of Pepe to go out.
41 Real Madrid are totally outplaying the hosts. Ancelotti's attacking approach comes as a surprise to everyone.
39 Ronaldo sets a record for most goals in a single competition. He takes his tally to 15, one ahead of Argentinean marksman Lionel Messi of Barcelona.
39 Real midfielder Xabi Alonso will miss the final after picking up a yellow card.
37 Ronaldo almost adds the fourth! Another Neuer move out of his area is exploited by the dazzling winger, whose looping effort goes just over the bar.
34 Ronaldo puts the result beyond doubt with a third goal on the break. Benzema releases the pacy Bale who easily shrugs off Boateng to square the ball for the unmarked Portuguese, whose low shot goes past the hapless Neuer.
##
34 GOOOAAAAL FOR REAL MADRID!!
33 Real Madrid's aerial prowess is evident. Their forwards have the upper hand in set-pieces.
32 Robben's attempted maneuvers are repeatedly halted by Real's midfielders and defenders.
30 Real's steadfast defence superbly closes down spaces at the back.
27 Ronaldo finds acres of spaces! He jinks towards the area and, under little pressure from Dante, fires a low shot that goes just wide.
25 A half-chance for Bayern, finally! A Ribery low shot from inside the area narrowly misses the target.
25 Bayern are struggling to make their presence felt. They neither control possession nor create any genuine opportunities.
22 Bayern now need four goals to go through. It seems highly unlikely.
20 It's Sergio Ramos again! Pepe flicks a deep free kick from Di Maria and Ramos escapes his marker to powerfully head home. What a stunning night at the Allianz Arena.
##
20 GOOOAAAAL FOR REAL MADRID!!
18 Bayern now need to score three goals to advance. An uphill task, definitely.

9 Gareth Bale wastes a golden chance for Real Madrid!! Bayern keeper Neuer rushes out of his penalty area to head away a long ball and the ball falls kindly to the Welshman, whose volley goes high over with the goal gaping.
7 A wayward cross from Franck Ribery goes wide.
5 Bayern are yet to apply their trademark possession-based football.
3 Real are expected to sit back and rely on the counter attacks to score a precious away goal.
