Thank you for following the live broadcast of Bayern Munich-Real Madrid and see you in the next Champions League matches.
Match full of goals and emotions at the Allianz Arena in Munich where, despite an excellent start by Bayern with a great opportunity wasted by Sané, Real Madrid took the lead in the 24th minute, with Vinicius taking advantage of the assist to Kroos’ kiss and beats Neuer. The Bavarians reacted above all at the beginning of the second half, when after being saved by a save by Neuer on Kroos, they turned the game around in four minutes: in the 53rd minute Sané received from Laimer on the right, took center stage and equalized by kicking very hard at the near post, while at the 57′ Kane converts a penalty awarded by Turpin for a foul by Vazquez on Musiala. After a couple of chances on both sides, the final 2-2 for Real came in the 83rd minute, again with Vinicius, who scored a penalty earned by Rodrygo after a foul by Kim.
We will start again from the 2-2 result, in eight days, at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid, where Real will try to secure the pass for the fifth Champions League final in the last ten seasons. Bayern Munich will do everything to prevent this, as they will have to earn a place at Wembley away, four years after the last final played, which culminated with the victory against Paris Saint-Germain.

46′
First substitution for Bayern Munich. Leon Goretzka out, Raphaël Guerreiro in.
Tuchel can be satisfied with his team’s approach to the match, less so with the lack of results and the errors that led to Vinicius’ goal, given that Bayern’s midfielders left too much space for Kroos, Kim was fooled by the Brazilian’s countermovement and Kimmich did not close the defensive diagonal. He can be happy with the result and the management after the lead, however, Ancelotti, but Real Madrid will have to be careful not to give the Bavarians the meters left to them in the first half of the first half.
Real Madrid ended the first half ahead by taking advantage of the only opportunity they had in the space of 45 minutes. In fact, it was Bayern Munich who started better and immediately came close to taking the lead with Sané, who was unable to overcome Lunin, who was good at blocking the shot. The Bavarians try repeatedly with Kane, Sané and Musiala again, but in the 24th minute they leave too much space for Kroos, who slots in perfectly for Vinicius Junior’s countermovement, which beats Neuer, not reactive as usual in the low exit. The reaction of Tuchel’s team is entrusted to a free kick from Kane, which however ends up on the goal.

Real Madrid, however, is still in the running in two competitions, leading the La Liga with eleven points ahead of Barcelona and, with five days to go in the championship, is very close to the 31st Spanish title in its history. Los Blancos, who won Group C of the Champions League and then eliminated Leipzig and Manchester City, are unbeaten in eighteen games and, this season, have only been beaten by Atletico Madrid (twice).
The first act of the double match will be staged at the Allianz Arena in Munich, which will reveal one of the two teams protagonists of the final of the top European competition, scheduled for Saturday 1 June at Wembley Stadium in London. Conquering the “Big Ears Cup” is the only objective Bayern has left, given the already mathematical victory of the Bundesliga by Bayer Leverkusen and the elimination of Thomas Tuchel’s team from the German Cup. The Bavarians, who won Group A of the Champions League and eliminated Lazio and Arsenal in the direct elimination phase, are on the back of four consecutive victories in all competitions.
Good evening and welcome to the live broadcast of Bayern Munich-Real Madrid, first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals.
