Real goes on the counterattack after Bayern’s attack. In the end, Valverde plays an inaccurate change of sides so that the Munich team can move back. Vinícius Junior plays Bellingham 20 meters centrally in front of the goal. His shot is blocked.

Bayern are once again at the forefront. Sané is sent into the penalty area on the right. He goes to the baseline, but then doesn’t find a teammate with his cross.

Bellingham tries a shot from the edge of the penalty area. The ball misses two meters to the right.

What was that? A long ball from Dier flies into touch, but then back into the field of play. Rüdiger receives the ball in his own half. Away from the camera, a Madrilenian grabs a new ball and quickly throws it in. Vinícius Junior is placed in the penalty area on the right. He shoots with his right from eight meters. His shot is touched by Neuer with his fingertips and rushes against the left post. From there the ball jumps back to the Brazilian. Neuer parried the second shot brilliantly.

Real have the ball a lot now. But the Royals are currently not getting into the final third. Bayern’s midfield pressing works.

FCB played well! Pavlović plays a strong vertical pass into the center to Kimmich, who has moved in. Kimmich plays to Musiala, who passes to Gnabry to the left in the penalty area. The winger wants to cross for Kane, who would be free at the back post, but his cross pass is too imprecise and goes out of goal.

First dangerous penalty area action! Dani Carvajal delivers a very good cross pass in front of the goal from the right corner of the penalty area. Rodrygo slides just centimeters past the ball in the six-yard box.

Bayern win the ball in midfield. Then Sané starts on the right side. But Kane’s pass gets stuck in a defender.

Real are running at a high pace and the Bayern defenders are having problems with it. The build-up game is still very much piecemeal. Madrid dominates the game.

The Munich team comes close to the penalty area for the first time. Sané takes a long ball from Laimer with his chest. But then the German stops and complains that he is being held by Mendy. The hold is undisputed, but it is not enough for Marciniak to give a free kick whistle.

Game start
20:56
Today’s game will be refereed by Szymon Marciniak. The Pole was also the referee in the 2023 Champions League final.
20:25
Carlo Ancelotti only makes one change compared to the first leg. Dani Carvajal is back from a yellow card suspension. He is of course in the starting line-up in his 88th Champions League game and pushes Lucas Vázquez to the bench.
20:21
Regarding personnel: Thomas Tuchel is making three changes at Bayern compared to the first leg a week ago. As already mentioned, de Ligt starts in central defense instead of Kim. Pavlović also starts for Goretzka in central midfield and Gnabry replaces Müller in the attack. The use of Gnabry could indicate that the Bavarian game today will be more counter-attack based.
20:18
It will be exciting to see what tactics Thomas Tuchel has come up with today. In the home game, Munich attacked very aggressively in the first 15 minutes and put Madrid under extreme pressure. Ultimately, this only resulted in Real taking the lead. Are Bayern taking a more defensive approach today? Or does the coach also choose an offensive approach on a foreign pitch?
20:13
But FC Bayern still has a lot of work to do. The first leg ended 2-2. The result was a bit annoying for FC Bayern because a win would definitely have been possible. Real scored the goals in typical fashion and took advantage of two defensive mistakes by Kim. To the delight of Thomas Tuchel, the originally scheduled central defender, Matthijs de Ligt, is fit again today. He is supposed to keep Vinícius Junior and Co. in check together with Eric Dier.
20:04
The German final in the Champions League is only one game away. Yesterday BVB sensationally reached the final with a 1-0 win at PSG. Can Bayern imitate Dortmund? It would be a repeat of the 2013 final, which fittingly also took place at Wembley Stadium.
Hello and welcome to the semi-final second leg of the Champions League. Today at 9:00 p.m. Real Madrid will face FC Bayern Munich.
