Casa Blanca overthrows Bayern Munich and heads towards the Champion’s League final thanks to a Super Joselu who offers victory to Real Madrid in a fiery Santiago Bernabeu.

The second leg of the semi-final, long awaited by football fans around the world, offered a spectacle of great taste. This is why Champions League evenings are always very special. The Whites managed to beat the Reds and Whites thanks to two important late goals from Joselu, thus ending the Bavarian hopes and securing their place in the final. The winning coaching of Don Carlo Ancelotti was an important point in this meeting.

Fans of world football were treated to a well-balanced first half between the two teams despite a slight domination of Carlo Ancelotti’s Poulains. Both teams returned to the locker room with the starting score (0-0).

It was in an exciting second half that Real Madrid found themselves trailing following a superb goal from Alphonso Davies in the 68th minute. While the Munich side seemed headed for victory, the German coach opted for a cautious approach to secure their score advantage. However, the tactical changes made by Ancelotti changed the situation. In the 81st minute, two changes were decisive: Valverde gave way to Brahim Diaz and Rodrygo gave way to Joselu. The latter scored two goals at the end of the match, in the 88th minute with a poorly appreciated shot by Neuer and in the 90th + 1 on a cross-shot from Rudiger, thus reversing the fate of the match in favor of the Madrid side.

The Munich residents see their dream of a final at Wembley go up in smoke; while the Madrilenians prepare to face Borussia Dortmund in their quest to win their 15th Champions League. See you on June 1 in London to find out who will win this 69th edition.
