AS THE celebrations took the roof from the Bernabeu Stadium, Jude Bellingham sought out Harry Kane to console his England skipper.
And after the most unlikely Real Madrid fightback even by their standards - the England captain needed some consoling.
Kane's assist for Alphonso Davies's stunning strike looked to have set Bayern up for a trip to Wembley. But dramatic late goals from substitute Joselu - yes, the former Stoke City man gave Real the most unlikely of victories and Bellingham the chance to win the Champions League in his first season with Real.
It had all looked so good for Bayern and Kane.
Not for the first time in this Champions League week, the goal-frame was a German team's friend, Manuel Neuer's right-hand post repelling an early Vinicius Junior strike.
That flurry in the Bayern box typified a gung-ho, if slapdash, start by both teams, Serge Gnabry and Leroy Sane both flying behind enemy lines only to fluff their attempted assists.
Their failure to find Kane with what should have been relatively straightforward passes sowed seeds of frustration for the England captain.
