Real Madrid secured a thrilling victory over Bayern Munich with a 2-1 scoreline, thanks to a late comeback inspired by substitute Joselu. The win sees Los Blancos advance to the final.

Joselu’s heroics secured a stunning victory for Real Madrid as they overcame Bayern Munich 2-1 at the Bernabeu to book their place in the 2024 UEFA Champions League final. The experienced striker came off the bench to score two crucial goals in the dying moments of the game, completing a remarkable comeback and sealing a 4-3 aggregate win for Los Blancos.

Real Madrid were the dominant side for large parts of the match and had the best opportunity of a tightly contested first half. However, Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer pulled off a brilliant save to deny Rodrygo after Vinicius Junior’s shot had struck the post.

Neuer continued to produce heroics in the second half as Real Madrid piled on the pressure. He made another excellent stop to deny the dangerous Vinicius Jr., keeping Bayern in the game.

Against the run of play, Bayern took the lead through substitute Alphonso Davies. The Canadian winger seized the moment and scored his first goal in the competition, cutting in from the left and firing the ball into the net in the 68th minute.

Real Madrid’s hopes seemed dashed, but their never-say-die attitude in this competition shone through once again. Substitute Joselu capitalized on an error from Neuer to equalize in the 88th minute, before tapping in at the far post in stoppage time to break German hearts.

With this victory, Real Madrid have set up a final showdown against Borussia Dortmund at Wembley on June 1. It seems that when it comes to the UEFA Champions League, Los Blancos are simply unstoppable.

TNT Sports expert, Paul Scholes, reflected on Real Madrid’s late heroics and acknowledged the inevitability of their success in this competition. He noted that history has shown that Real Madrid always find a way to prevail, even when they have been outplayed or outclassed in previous knockout ties.

Manchester City, who were knocked out by Real Madrid in the quarter-finals this season, will surely feel hard done by. Despite their dominance in that tie, Real Madrid managed to find a way through and now find themselves in yet another final.
