Atletico forward Fernando Torres was inches away from grabbing a late second when his shot hit the post, while Bayern’s David Alaba also hit the woodwork with a thumping drive.
The result left Pep Guardiola’s Bayern side facing a huge task in Munich next week to avoid a third successive semi-final exit.
