Real Madrid defeat Bayern's best Champions League performance in five years, says Rummenigge

Bayern Munich produced their best Champions League performance for five years in Tuesday's clash with Real Madrid, according to chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.

The Bundesliga champions were held to a 2-2 draw at the Santiago Bernabeu, ensuring a 4-3 aggregate defeat in their semi-final tie.

Joshua Kimmich put Bayern ahead after just two minutes before Karim Benzema scored twice, his second coming after a dreadful error from goalkeeper Sven Ulreich, leaving James Rodriguez's equaliser to count for little.

Madrid rode their luck at times, though, with Marcelo escaping a handball in the penalty area and Keylor Navas forced to make eight saves, his highest number in a single Champions League knockout match.
