Bayern bid to seize final chance

Bayern Munich coach Jupp Heynckes has urged his players to take advantage of the “once in a lifetime” opportunity to play a Champions League final on home soil at the Allianz Arena.

Bayern host nine-time European champions Real Madrid in the first leg of their semi-final tie tonight, and Heynckes believes the fact the final will be held in Munich provides his players with even more incentive against Jose Mourinho’s men.

“It is certainly a very special motivation that the final takes place in the Allianz Arena,” he said.
