Bayern Munich claim victory in their home tournament

It's a deserved Audi Cup triumph for Bayern Munich with a weakened Real Madrid side on the night offering very little in attack as they claim second place.

Tottenham of course came third after beating AC Milan earlier in the third place play-off.

That's all from me folks. Thanks for following and cheerio.

21:36
FULL-TIME: Bayern Munich 1-0 Real Madrid

Bayern Munich win the Audi Cup

21:36

90+1min: It's Real who need a goal but in two added minutes it's Bayern who nearly score again! Costa's low effort across goal superbly beaten away by Navas - by far Madrid's best player.

21:31
GOAL! BAYERN MUNICH 1-0 Real Madrid

88min: It's been coming and Bayern Munich have left it until the last few moments to take the lead as Robert Lewandowski steals a march inside the six-yard box to tap home a Costa free-kick from out wide.

21:30

86min: Another minute, another Bayern chance. Costa, who has had a quiet second half, cuts in from the left after collecting a Rode pass before drilling narrowly wide of the near post.

21:28

84min: Time is running out for Bayern to win this in normal time, I say Bayern purely because Real Madrid's attack has dissolved as this half has wore on. Ramos goes down needing treatment in the Real box as penalties loom around the corner. He should be ok to continue though.

21:26
Bayern Munich substitution

81min: Another Bayern change as Fabian Benko replaces Rafinha. It's an onslaught from the home side now.

21:25

80min: Another fine save! Alaba's free-kick from 35 yards was heading for the bottom corner, only for Navas to dive low, reach out and tip the ball away.

The way he has played, Madrid don't even need David de Gea!

Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski misses a chance to score from close range
21:23

78min: Navas will just not beaten as he palms away another powerful Munich strike. Pep Guardiola is getting ready to throw on some more substitutions as he furiously throws out instructions on the touchline.

Try telling him this is just a friendly...

21:21

75min: Well we are 15 minutes away from full-time and we look about as far away from a goal than at any other point in this contest - especially judging by the latest effort as Rode bends a shot well off target.

If this game does end in a draw then the Audi Cup final will go straight to penalties.

21:18
Double Real Madrid substitution

72min: The football hasn't been as good in this half but the intensity in this game remains ridiculously high for a friendly.

Now Ramos is booked for a dangerous tackle on Rode, which came moments after Lewandowski swung an elbow at Carvajal. Feisty.

Kroos and Vazquez depart as Borja Mayoral and Danilo come on for Madrid.

21:14

69min: Nearly a bizarre opening goal at the Allianz Arena! Illarramendi catches Neuer well out of position but his low 40-yard strike lacks power as the Germany keeper manages to scramble across his goal mouth to make the save.

21:09
Bayern Munich substitution

66min: Back come Madrid though as Kroos's testing and powerful long range drive forces Neuer to dive low to his left and parry clear.

Pierre Hojbjerg replaces Alonso for Bayern Munich.

21:08

63min: Now Bayern are cooking but they still can't score! Robert Lewandowski somehow prods wide from close range while Muller heads straight at Navas moments later. Modric and James Rodriguez are not exactly clicking at the moment for Real.

Jese of Real Madrid is replaced by James Rodriguez of Real Madrid
21:03
Bayern Munich substitution

60min: More changes on the way, this time for Bayern as Arturo Vidal departs in favour of Juan Bernat

21:03
Real Madrid triple substitution

57min: Here come the big guns for Madrid. Luka Modric, James Rodriguez and Alvaro Arbeloa are on, replacing Jese, Marcelo and Isco

21:00

54min: It's taken nearly 10 minutes but Bayern are finding their feet again, with Benatia heading wide from a cross. Probably should have done better but then he was given a cheeky push in the back by Ramos.

20:57

51min: Mighty harsh, especially for a friendly, as Medhi Benatia is booked for a fairly conservative attempt of a challenge on Lucas Vazquez.

Madrid have a free-kick 25 yards out, with Kroos' top corner bound drive tipped over by Neuer.

A young fan invades the pitch and is escorted by David Alaba of Bayern Munich off the pitch
20:56

48min: Bayern don't look as strong in the opening few minutes, with Madrid having stepped it up following a poor first half in an attacking sense. Can they find a second half breakthrough though?

20:53
SECOND HALF: Away we go again with both sides making a double change

Changes on the way for Real Madrid as Asier Illarramendi and Marco Asensio replaces Denis Cheryshev and Casemiro.

Robert Lewandowski and Sebastian Rode are on for Bayern in place of Lahm and Gotze.

Goalless at the break but Bayern Munich really should have scored by now

The hosts have dominated this clash and through set-pieces, stylish play, rocket shots and even lucky breaks should really have found a breakthrough by now.

Real Madrid without the big three of Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo don't look the same force.

Instead the shining attacking light from the first half is Douglas Costa for Bayern.

20:33
HALF-TIME: Bayern Munich 0-0 Real Madrid
Sergio Ramos (right) of Real Madrid appealed for a penalty after a tangle with Jerome Boateng of Bayern Munich
20:33

45+1min: In one added minute, Ramos goes down under pressure from Boateng battling for a header, but his tumble is a little too theatrical as play is waved on despite his penalty appeals.

20:31

44min: Excellent stop from Navas! Costa skips in behind the Madrid defence, playing a byline cut-back across the box for Mario Gotze.

The forward's low strike is well evaded by Muller, whose presence in front of the Madrid keeper wouldn't have helped as he parried clear

Xabi Alonso was also booked for Bayern Munich shortly after Marcelo's caution
20:29

42min: Madrid's best avenues for creating chances recently have come from free-kicks but even they are not producing as Kroos' attempted cross into the box is headed clear.

Kroos, along with Ramos, have been bright spots in an otherwise poor Madrid performance.

20:25

39min: Nearly a freak opening goal for Bayern! Muller's 25-yard strike was going miles wide only for it to hit Ramos.

The ball changed course to creep towards the bottom corner but with Navas beaten as he scrambled across the line, it bounced off the post and eventually out to safety.

Bayern may deserve the lead but not in that fashion!

Marcelo of Real Madrid is shown a yellow card for a foul on Bayern Munich's Philipp Lahm
20:22

36min: Speaking of terrible free-kicks, Madrid now win a set-piece 30 yards from goal but that too is wasteful as it is blasted over the bar.

Still they get another opportunity now as Alonso is booked for a very late tackle on Carvajal, picking up a yellow card in the process.

20:20

33min: Lahm wants a penalty after being chopped down by a late Marcelo sliding tackle, but a free-kick is given on the very edge of the box and it's the correct call as the Madrid full-back is also booked for his poor challenge. Bayern though waste the set-piece.

Since Ramos's overhead kick Real Madrid haven't had a kick.

20:18

31min: Fine football from Bayern! The hosts engage in a one-touch passing move inside the Real box, with Lahm's lay-off for Thomas Muller resulting in the forward side-footing a crisp low effort just wide of the far psot

20:15

28min: That will spark the home fans up. The ball falls for Douglas Costa at the far post, but his low strike takes a crucial deflection off Dani Carvajal's outstretched foot allowing Sergio Ramos to hack clear from inside the six yard box.

20:12

25min: Bayern look very comfortable on the ball now, but the chances are not exactly filtering through. In fact here comes our first bout of Mexican Waves from the crowd. A universal sign of 'I'm bored.'

Pepe (centre) of Real Madrid departed the field early on with an injury at the Allianz Arena
20:11

22min: Maybe Bayern are trying to do too much passing at times. Arturo Vidal, David Alaba and Xabi Alonso ping the ball between each other neatly enough on the edge of the Madrid box, but none of them manage to create a chance as Madrid eventually put the ball behind for a corner.

20:07

19min: Boateng seems to have recovered from that knock he picked up five minutes ago, and Bayern Munich seem to have recovered from that early Madrid blitz. The hosts are in control of this game now as they boss possession.

20:03
Real Madrid substitution

16min: And already Real Madrid are forced into a change. Pepe trudges off with what looks like a hamstring strain and on in his place is Nacho.

Philipp Lahm of Bayern Munich could only head wide in front of Real Madrid's Sergio Ramos
20:01

15min: Just 15 minutes into this final and both teams already have injury concerns. Pepe has gone down for Real Madrid while Jerome Boateng is receiving treatment on the touchline. Already it's carnage.

19:59

12min: Ever since I criticised Madrid's attacks they have been piling on the pressure, with Sergio Ramos's attempted overhead kick flying wide following a corner.

It's Bayern who nearly open the scoring through with David Alaba's powerful strike which had no spin on it being parried away by Keylor Navas into the path of Philipp Lahm.

Lahm attempts to head the rebound in, but under pressure can only guide the shot off target.

19:56

9min: Well that's a little better from Real Madrid. Dani Carvajal cuts in from the right and while his pass for ISco results in the midfielder's shot being blocked, Toni Kroos follows up with a powerful low drive which curls wide of the bottom corner - Manuel Neuer had it covered though.

19:52

6min: There's no Karim Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo or Gareth Bale for Real Madrid and so far it's showing. There hasn't been much creative threat from the Spanish side as Pepe boots a long ball over the top and out of play for a goal kick.

19:49

3min: It's the hosts who come out the blocks quickest, with Thomas Muller dragging a low shot wide from 20 yards in the opening moments.

KICK-OFF: Bayern Munich get us underway

It was already an atmospheric ground for Spurs vs AC Milan but the fans have constantly been filing in since that game kicked off, so there are not many spare seats around for this clash now as the teams make their way out.
