Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich 2-1 (4-3)

The clash between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich in the Champions League semi-final was a thrilling spectacle that kept fans on the edge of their seats. The first leg ended in a 2-1 victory for Real Madrid, but Bayern Munich fought back fiercely in the second leg to level the score at 3-3 on aggregate. However, it was Real Madrid who emerged victorious with a late goal from Marco Asensio, securing a 4-3 win overall.

The match showcased the skill and determination of both teams, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring a crucial goal for Real Madrid and Joshua Kimmich equalizing for Bayern Munich. The tension was palpable as both sides pushed for the win, but it was ultimately Real Madrid who proved to be the stronger team on the night.

Madrid were heading for a shock defeat when Alphonso Davies silenced the Bernabeu with a stunning strike, with Bayern manager Thomas Tuchel minutes from pulling off a remarkable upset after a backs-to-the-wall defensive performance.

But an error from Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who looked unbeatable in denying Vinicius Jr earlier in the contest, allowed Joselu to score an 88th minute equaliser as the German spilled a tame shot.

The effort was first ruled out for an apparent offside, but the goal was given following a VAR check.

"We've seen it a lot of times this season when it looked as though we're dead and buried ... it doesn't matter who scores the goals but someone always manages it... that mentality of never say die," Jude Bellingham, who will play against his former club in the final, told TNT Sports.

The Bayern keeper looked on course to be man of the match as he weathered a storm, but with minutes remaining he fumbled a Vinicius strike from the edge of the box to gift Joselu the equaliser.

The goal recharged a raucous Bernabéuunder their spectacular new roof and two minutes later Madrid worked their European magic again, snatching a deserved winner that fired the Spanish giants into another final.

In conclusion, this match will go down in history as a classic encounter between two footballing giants, with Real Madrid emerging triumphant over Bayern Munich.
