About the game:
Two late goals from substitute Joselu propelled Los Blancos to a 2-1 victory, securing them a spot in the final at Wembley Stadium.
In a challenging and goalless first half, Bayern Munich broke the deadlock in the second half with a remarkable strike from Alphonso Davies.
With Bayern leading 3-2 on aggregate after a goal in the 70th minute, they seemed destined for the final. However, Real Madrid staged a remarkable comeback, scoring two goals in three minutes.
Joselu equalised in the 88th minute, capitalising on a rebound from Vinicius Jr.’s shot. Then, in the 91st minute, Joselu netted a memorable brace, connecting with Antonio Rudiger’s cross from close range.
Despite initial doubts of offside, the goal stood after a VAR review, sealing Real Madrid’s dramatic victory.
