Bayern Munich were leading 1-0 until the 88th minute, but everything fell apart in matter of seconds

Real Madrid staged a stunning comeback in the semi-final clash against Bayern Munich, securing a dramatic 2-1 victory to advance to the Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund.

Bayern appeared to be on course for the final as Alphonso Davies netted a goal after receiving a brilliant pass from England captain Harry Kane.

However, the tide turned in Real’s favor in the dying minutes of the game. Joselu seized the opportunity in the 88th minute, capitalizing on a fumble by Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer to level the score. Just two minutes later, Joselu, formerly of Stoke City, delivered the decisive blow with a close-range finish from Antonio Rudiger’s pass.

Initially ruled offside, VAR intervened to overturn the decision, confirming Joselu’s onside position and igniting jubilant celebrations among the Real Madrid faithful at the Bernabeu. The final scoreline of 4-3 on aggregate sealed Real Madrid’s place in the final.

With 14 European titles to their name, Real Madrid now set their sights on the final showdown against Borussia Dortmund, scheduled for Saturday, June 1st at Wembley Stadium.
