00:00After days of anticipation, we're finally here.
00:04A truly unforgettable occasion, worthy of a packed stadium.
00:08You won't want to miss a second of it.
00:10Well, the weather really couldn't be any better here today.
00:13A very warm welcome to you on this fine day.
00:16I'm Guy Mowbray.
00:17Alongside me is the former England striker, Sue Smith.
00:20And every reason to believe we're in for an entertaining match here.
00:24It's Bayern Munich, and they take on Napoli.
00:27Well, both managers will be reminding the players that it's important to get off to a quick start.
00:31Really attack the opposition and put them on the back foot from the off.
00:35Hopefully we'll get a good game.
00:47There are few better strikers in world football than Harry Kane.
00:51What should we expect from him today?
00:53Well, he's just one of those players who strikes the ball so well.
00:56Scores a fair few goals outside the box too.
00:59Can't give him any time or space, or he'll punish you.
01:03That one's gone out.
01:05Throw-in to come.
01:07This is today's Bayern Munich starting line-up.
01:10Manuel Neuer is in goal.
01:12Jonathan Tarr plays alongside Deo Upamecano as the centre-backs.
01:16And the main striker is Harry Kane.
01:25This is how the Napoli team looks.
01:27Scott McTominay plays alongside Stanislav Lobotka in the heart of midfield.
01:32And they're playing with just one up front.
01:34And now he's in.
01:37It's 1-0.
01:39The first blowing stroke very early.
01:54The pace on the ground is so dangerous.
01:57It moves out from the back with real intent.
01:59And once it falls through like that, it's a routine finish.
02:03Cool and clinical.
02:08So it's 1-0.
02:10And the ball gets rolling again.
02:12Di Lorenzo.
02:16Politano.
02:18It's pinched.
02:19Reddy's mind there.
02:25Elisa.
02:31Onto McTominay.
02:35Something developing here.
02:39Good strength on show to keep the ball.
02:42Yeah, he uses his strength well there.
02:44Still going here.
02:46And now they've lost it.
02:47Good reading of the game.
02:52Michael Olisek.
02:55Teeing up the chance now.
03:00It's the faith.
03:01It's the second goal.
03:03Two early scores to delight their supporters.
03:21Well, here's the replay.
03:22Despite lots of pressure from the defender, he manages to hold him off.
03:26Gets his shot away.
03:28It's a good goal, lad.
03:35And the game restarts with the score 2-0.
03:38And the game restarts with the score 2-0.
03:59Iron showing good width here.
04:05What a chance.
04:07Oh, close again.
04:12Well, the woodwork just about keeping them in this.
04:16It has been chance after chance, though.
04:18You just think if they score another, you fear this could get ugly.
04:21Well, they're in possession again.
04:23And maybe another opportunity developing now.
04:27Oh, brilliant anticipation.
04:29They've lost it.
04:44Needlessly, really.
04:49That tackle was far from clean.
04:52And it is going to be a caution.
04:54Yeah, it's a good decision from the ref.
04:55I think he knew that it was coming.
05:01Come in.
05:11Taking this on.
05:12A bit of a gamble to have a go from there.
05:15But it very nearly worked.
05:16It did.
05:17And that's a great effort, Guy.
05:18To attempt the shot from there.
05:20Just shows that he's full of confidence.
05:22And that doesn't miss by much.
05:29Lyman.
05:32Michael Olisse.
05:35Kane.
05:36On to Luis Diaz.
05:38This looks promising from Bayern.
05:44Waiting.
05:45Not trying to force things.
05:51All taken away from them.
05:57Stanislav Lobotka.
06:00On to McTominay.
06:03Oh, could be a chance here.
06:11Stanislav Lobotka.
06:13And the attack breaks down.
06:15Oh, sniffed out the danger well there.
06:17Looked like a real promising attack, didn't it?
06:21Lobotka.
06:24Making decent progress here.
06:29Oh, just off target.
06:31They certainly can't fault them for effort.
06:34They keep applying the pressure.
06:35And if they can just nick one, they're right back in this.
06:47A little sloppy on the ball there.
06:50It's gone up again.
06:52Quite simply, the goalkeeper is over for that.
06:55Yeah, they've been lucky to get away with that one, haven't they?
06:57That was a reckless mistake in a critical area as well.
07:00And you can see and sense the frustration after that.
07:04It needed a more subtle, certain finish.
07:13Michael Olyse.
07:16Kimmich.
07:20That's a throw-in.
07:21They'll have to win the ball all over again.
07:28Olyse.
07:31Oh, looks like he could be seeing yellow here.
07:41The ref has gone to his pocket.
07:44Yellow can't.
07:44Yeah, and it's a poor challenge, isn't it?
07:53Davis.
07:56And it's pinched Reddy's mind there.
07:59Yeah, it anticipated well there.
08:01He was on to that in a flash.
08:05So's Ganevry.
08:06On he goes to Rupin.
08:08Ganevry.
08:09They've got another.
08:11And he's got another.
08:12Two for the game.
08:27Well, look how he gets round his marker with a lovely bit of skill.
08:31But then there's still plenty to do.
08:32He's under all sorts of pressure from the defender.
08:35He's just about able to keep him at bay.
08:37It's a really good goal.
08:40Di Lorenzo.
08:41Di Lorenzo.
08:45Getting closer.
08:50And it could be a throw-in for Napoli.
08:56And that's not good.
08:57Given away from the throw.
09:03That's set up the chance.
09:10Oh, dear.
09:11A mess of their own making.
09:13Oh, superb reflexes.
09:17Here's a change for Napoli.
09:18David Neres.
09:25David Neres.
09:31Made into the box.
09:33Well, a decent effort.
09:34But not quite the contact he was looking for.
09:37And it's comfortably wide in the end.
09:49This could be threatening.
09:56Spin that solo.
10:00Should score here.
10:01And the keeper more than equal to it.
10:16It's put into the middle.
10:18Put it away.
10:19Not far.
10:20Now to play for another corner.
10:39Delivered into the box.
10:44And that'll do it.
10:46The end of the first 45 minutes here.
10:51Well, Serge Gnabry has stood out above most to this point.
10:55A first-class performance.
11:03As the second half gets going,
11:05we can only wonder what Bayern would have to do wrong
11:08to throw this one away.
11:17Di Lorenzo.
11:20Amir Rahmani.
11:23Leonardo Spinazzola.
11:26Onto McTominay.
11:31David Neres.
11:36Really good pass.
11:38Genuine chance here.
11:40Decent stop.
11:41Did what was needed.
11:44And the corner is fired in.
11:47And he's shown proper command of his area there.
11:53Interceptive.
11:54Great breeding of the game.
11:58Amir Rahmani.
12:09And maybe not the best idea to go for the blast.
12:13Accuracy sacrifice for power.
12:19Davis.
12:21On to Luis Diaz.
12:24On to Luis Diaz.
12:28Oh, it should score.
12:34There's something on here.
12:35A chance to attack.
12:40And they have a play for a Napoli throw-in.
12:54And they might be in.
13:03That is where it ends.
13:05And that is where it ends.
13:13McTominay.
13:16Making decent progress here.
13:19Making decent progress here.
13:35That might have ended up being better than it has.
13:39What a chance.
13:41And another goal.
13:43Surely they're home and trying with the win now.
13:52Well, here we can see it again.
13:54And a simple finish it, maybe.
13:56It's all about the movement in the box.
13:58Just to find that yard to the space.
14:00That's what makes it an easy finish in the end.
14:07It's now 4-0 as the ball gets rolling again.
14:15It's a terrific carry forward, this.
14:24Look at the room.
14:25They've got to attack now.
14:27The counter fizzling out in the end.
14:33Spin that solo.
14:44Kane.
14:46What a chance here.
14:50Come on.
14:52And there's the hat-trick.
14:54He'll be taking the match for home.
15:11Well, you can see the pace on the break is scary.
15:14Really difficult to stop.
15:16And once he's in, it's all about the finish.
15:18No messing around.
15:20Just blasts it past the keeper.
15:22So emphatic.
15:23What a hit.
15:30Amir Rahmani.
15:32Spin that solo.
15:35Ryan come away with it.
15:49And the shot caught it.
15:51Great awareness, that.
15:53Just doing the right thing there.
15:58Open invitation on the wing here.
16:06Only 15 minutes left for play now.
16:10Well, now they could spring the trap.
16:13They couldn't quite take advantage in the end.
16:18McTominay.
16:19Oh, good vision.
16:21Oh, superb save.
16:23He's done so well to keep that out.
16:28Substitution coming up.
16:32It's played in now.
16:34Well, comfortably off target in the end.
16:36That'll be a goal kick.
16:37Yeah, I think you have to credit the defending there.
16:40Just enough pressure to put him off at that vital moment.
16:46Harry Kane.
16:48Now Davis.
16:52He has.
16:53And it's on now.
16:56Oh, he's giving it away here.
16:58It gets better and better.
17:01An absolutely rampant display.
17:04There's no stopping them in this kind of mood.
17:15Well, here we can see it again.
17:17He's just slugging defending.
17:18They've switched off at the back and so they stay with the players.
17:21They've got to do better there.
17:24Off we go then after a goal that could very well be the last act here.
17:30That's not a bad-looking ball.
17:35Fantastic work in the box.
17:39Making a change here.
17:47Really solid defending.
17:54Beautifully weighted ball.
18:05Oh, surely.
18:08Well, the effort never really looked like troubling the goalkeeper at all.
18:11Poor attempt in the end.
18:17Gnabry.
18:27Spinazzola.
18:29David Neres.
18:32Could turn out to be a really good ball.
18:35Just needs the composure now.
18:37And it's in.
18:39Nothing more than consolation at this stage, but it is at least something for their fans to cheer.
18:49Well, here we can see it again.
18:51Sometimes when you're through 1v1, it's easy to be caught in two minds.
18:56He was just really composed and the keeper had no chance.
19:06Space to attack here for Bayern Munich.
19:14Good, patient build-up, but not quite the end product.
19:17Well, nice approach, wasn't it?
19:19But the final ball just wasn't there.
19:26Drifting into a useful position here.
19:28Genuine chance.
19:30What can he do with it?
19:34And it's all over with the Bayern fans able to celebrate the win.
19:38Well, that was a dominant performance.
19:40They just couldn't live with him from an attacking perspective.
19:43Created lots of opportunities and some good finishes too.
19:46It was actually easy in the end.
19:48Let's go!
19:50Let's go!
19:57Go!
