Davide Frattesi snatched a 2-1 victory two minutes from time to take a narrow first-leg lead back to the San Siro next week.

Bayern had levelled three minutes earlier through substitute Thomas Mueller, a player leaving the club at the end of the season after 25 years as Bayern did not offer him a new contract.

Inter captain Lautaro Martinez had put the visitors in the driving seat after 38 minutes, drilling the ball into the net from a superb Marcus Thuram backheel after Bayern had earlier hit the post through Harry Kane.

The treble-chasing Italians, who have conceded three goals in their 11 Champions League matches so far this season, host Bayern in the return leg on April 16.

The winners of the quarter-final will face either Borussia Dortmund or Barcelona, who play their first leg on Wednesday.

"It's half-time, it's 2-1 for Inter and we need to go to Milan to win," said Bayern coach Vincent Kompany. "We have lost and we had our chances in both halves but the results are not always fair."

"If you see how many chances we had against a defensive-minded Inter. Normally if we get these chances we score two or three goals," added Kompany. "We still fully believe in our chances in Milan."
