Real – Bayern 2-1: With the well-known recipe of improbable upsets, the “queen” in the final of the Champions League – 2024-05-09 01:19:32

Real Madrid with another epic upset, one of many in their history, defeated Bayern 2-1 at the Bernabeu despite losing 0-1 in the 88th minute (!) and combined with the 2-2 first leg qualified for the Champions League final where they will face Borussia Dortmund on June 1st at Wembley, with the aim of winning the trophy for the 15th time!.

In the 13th minute, Real had a huge double chance when Carvajal passed the ball to Vinicius, who hit the post, in the rebound Rodrigo shot but Neuer made a save.

In the 15th minute it was Bayern’s turn to miss a good chance but Gnabry (substituted in the 27th minute due to a muscle injury) wasted it easily as he neither crossed nor passed to Kane. In the 28th minute, Kane’s powerful shot was saved by Lunin.

Bayern threatened in the 47th minute with a shot by Davies while Real tried with Vinicius’ left-footed drives that had no effect. In the 56th minute, Rodrigo did not find the net from close range from Vinicius’ turn. Real increased the pressure and in the three minute 59′-61′ forced Neuer to make great saves on shots by Rodrigo and Vinicius.

But in the 68th minute, it was Bayern who opened the scoring. Terrible ball from Kane to Davies, he avoided Carvajal and executed Lunin for 0-1. In the 71st minute, Real scored a goal but it was disallowed via VAR for a clear foul by Nacho on Kimmich. And in the 88th minute came a terrible mistake from Bayern’s top man, Neuer who lost the ball through his hands to a shot by Vinicius and Joselu came from close range to equalize 1-1. And because Real is the “queen” of upsets in the 91′, it achieved the complete upset with a close-range shot by Joselu (two goals even though he was substituted in the 81′!) assisted by Rüdiger (2-1).

De Ligt scored in the final minute of stoppage time to send the match into extra time but it didn’t count because the assistant flagged offside earlier, amid strong protests from the Germans.

The Polish Marciniak “yellowed” Kamaviga.
