Real Madrid defeated Bayern Munich in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinal at the Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid on Wednesday to reach another final. Both teams were coming off a 2-2 first leg and both needed a win to reach the final.
The first half ended goalless but Bayern drew the first blood with Alphonso Davies scoring for them in the 68th minute. But, two great changes from Carlo Ancelotti changed everything for Real Madrid. Joselu scored the equaliser after Neuer's mistake from Vinicius Jr's shot and then Joselu scored his second in the added time to complete the turnaround. Harry Kane and Thomas Tuchel's season ended trophyless even after a great season. Harry Kane ends the season with a trophy despite scoring 44 goals.
Real Madrid will face Borussia Dortmund in the final on June 1.

Half-time here in Madrid as we saw a goalless first 45 minutes. Neuer had to make two saves inside the first half. Meantime, Bayern looked threatening in periods. Bayern looked a bit passive to me, while Real Madrid looked to create chances through Rodrygo and Vinicius.
No glimpse of magic from Jude yet though.
