Real Madrid reach Champions League final
Coach Carlo Ancelotti praised the players. We performed well and had chances to control the game. This occurred again… We often do something unexpected at the Bernabeu with our fans “said.
Joselu is a great striker. We were energetic after the game. Enjoy until the final.” The players work hard. They’re modest. He continued, “This is my best team ever.”
The contest was tense, with both teams cautious at first. Bayern’s first chance came when Serge Gnabry’s thunderous shot missed the target. Real Madrid reacted with a great chance for Vinicius Junior, who struck the bar, and Rodrygo’s kick was saved by Manuel Neuer.
Andriy Lunin saved Harry Kane’s volley, and the game was scoreless at halftime.
Both teams worked hard to reach the final. Real Madrid, 14-time European winners, dominated the second half. To stop Rodrygo and Vinicius, Neuer produced great saves. Harry Kane’s pass set up Alphonso Davies to beat Lunin and give Bayern the lead.
Bayern appeared to move to the final until Neuer dropped a routine pass, allowing Joselu to equalise in the 88th minute. Joselu scored again two minutes later after Antonio Rudiger’s square pass, scoring from six yards out.
Joselu was initially deemed offside, but VAR called him onside, causing wild celebrations at the Bernabeu. Real Madrid won 4-3 on aggregate to reach a record 18th Champions League final.
Wembley will host the Champions League final between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund on June 1.
