According to UEFA, goals from Luis Díaz and Harry Kane, scored within five minutes of each other either side of half-time, had put Bayern firmly in control and underlined their credentials as one of Europe’s most in-form sides.
However, Mbappe’s late intervention shifted the narrative, leaving everything to play for under the lights in Munich.
