Antoine Griezmann's controversial first-half penalty handed Atletico Madrid a tight 1-0 win over gutsy Leicester in their Champions League quarter-final first leg.

The France striker was fouled outside the box by Marc Albrighton but referee Jonas Erikssson pointed to the spot - yet their European hopes remain alive.

It was deja vu for Leicester after another dubious penalty at the Vicente Calderon helped knock them out of the UEFA Cup in 1997.

And we have kick-off in both games!

2 mins: A bright start from Bayern in Germany. They've dominated all of the early possession with Real Madrid happy to sit deep, primed to strike on the counter.

4 mins: Bayern win a couple of early corners against Madrid and they swing both to the back post, where Vidal is lurking. But both times the away side defend well.

7 mins: Meanwhile in Madrid, Atletico have dominated the opening stages of their match against Leicester. And when I say dominated, I mean in the 80%-20% possession kind of way.

Bayern still on top in the evening's other match. And they have a free-kick in a very promising position when Kroos fairly shamelessly boots Robben in the shins.

9 mins: Carlo is looking pensive on the touchline... 

But he has little need to feel too stressed at this point: Madrid have barely ventured out of their own half.

11 mins: Just look who else is watching on:

13 mins: A moment of concern for Zidane as Carvajal goes down heavily after being body-checked by Vidal. He's given some treatment and looks as though he's going to be okay to continue.

Meanwhile in Madrid...
