Real Madrid sailed into their first Champions League final since 2002
Sergio Ramos scored two headers from set-
pieces before Cristiano Ronaldo rounded off a
counter-attack to all but end the game as a contest.
Ronaldo added a late free-kick for his record
16th goal of the European campaign to seal a
5-0 aggregate win.
Real will face either Chelsea or Atletico Madrid
in the final in Lisbon.
The defeat was a humiliation for Bayern, who
last year thrashed Barcelona 7-0 on aggregate
in the semi-finals before overcoming fellow
Germans Borussia Dortmund to lift the trophy for the fifth time.
And the result will increase the pressure on
manager Pep Guardiola amid the growing
feeling that, despite winning the Bundesliga in
record time, he has not delivered the progress
his employers were expecting.
The future of the former Barca coach will be
of little concern to Real, who now have the
chance to add to their record haul of nine
European Cups, 12 years after Zinedine
Zidane's volley delivered their last triumph at
Hampden Park.
With Zidane now watching from the Real
bench as a member of Carlo Ancelotti's
coaching staff, the Spaniards started the game
with verve and purpose and were swiftly on
the way to their first ever victory over Bayern
in Munich at the 10th attempt.
Gareth Bale had already gone close with a
long-range effort after Manuel Neuer's weak
punch when a Luka Modric corner from the
right located the unmarked Ramos, who
powered a header past the Germany goalkeeper.
Shortly afterwards, Real doubled their lead via
a near-identical goal as Angel Di Maria's free-
kick was flicked on by Pepe, and Ramos was
once again on hand to head in.
With Bayern's usually fervent fans stunned into
silence, Real added a third on the break.
Benzema's hooked pass sent Bale racing clear
and the Welshman squared for Ronaldo to slot
in his 48th goal of the season.
The only low for Real in an otherwise perfect
first period was Xabi Alonso's yellow card for
a foul on Bastian Schweinsteiger, which will
rule him out of the final on 24 May.
With Bayern needing a near-impossible five
goals, the second half was predictably flat.
Arjen Robben curled wide from the edge of the
area, Franck Ribery drew a rare save from Iker
Casillas with a low drive and substitute Mario
Gotze could not keep his shot below the bar
after turning sharply in the box.
And Bayern suffered a final ignominy in the
89th minute when Ronaldo curled a 20-yard
free-kick under a jumping wall to kick-start
the Real celebrations.
The victory sets up a mouth-watering final
either way, with Real poised to face either
former boss Jose Mourinho should Chelsea
make it through, or city rivals Atletico.
That tie is delicately poised at 0-0 going into
Wednesday night's second leg at Stamford Bridge.
