Vinicius Jr scored twice as Real Madrid rescued a draw in a topsy-turvy first leg of their Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich.

The Brazilian silenced the Allianz Arena halfway through the first half as he pounced on Toni Kroos' sublime pass to slot the ball past Manuel Neuer.

After a subdued first 45 minutes, Bayern hit back with two quick-fire goals in the second half.
