The 30-year-old’s brace means it’s the first time he has scored two goals in a knock-out game since Los Blancos’ 6-1 win over Schalke at the last-16 stage of the competition in February 2014.

Zidane the magician 

Under Zinedine Zidane, Real Madrid have never been knocked out of the Champions League.

The Frenchman is also the first manager since Marcello Lippi (1996-1998) to reach three consecutive finals

Bayern’s poor away record in Europe

Benzema’s brace means Bayern Munich have now failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 14 Champions League away games, stretching all the way back to the 2-0 win at Dinamo Zagreb in December 2015.

Passing magic

Real Madrid completed the second most number of passes (28) in the build-up to Benzema’s first strike – with Lucas Digne’s goal for Barcelona against Olympiakos in October the highest by one more pass.

Goal drought over

James Rodriguez’s equaliser midway through the second-half is his first goal in the Champions League since the 2-0 win over Roma in March 2016.

That day, however, he donned a Real Madrid jersey, this time he’s in a Bayern Munich shirt.

Joshua Kimmich’s early strike means he has been directly involved in more goals than any other Bayern Munich player in this season’s Champions League.

His goal against Real Madrid in both the first and second leg add to previous efforts against Celtic and Anderlecht in the group stages.
