Real Madrid Edge Bayern, To Face Dortmund In Champions League Final Battle

By Victor Kanayo

Real Madrid on Wednesday nightl defeated Bayern Munich 2-1 in the remaining semi-final match of the UEFA Champions League.

It took two late goals by the Los Blancos to reach the anticipated final.

As captured by the BBC, Bayern looked to be heading to the final when Alphonso Davies cut in and blasted past Andriy Lunin after England captain Harry Kane had found him with a superb pass.

But Joselu grabbed an 88th-minute equaliser when he reacted quickest after Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who had been excellent up until then, fumbled Vinicius Jr’s effort.

There was even more drama to come two minutes later when Joselu, a former Stoke City striker, swept home from six yards out from Antonio Rudiger’s square pass.

The goal had originally been given as offside, only for a video assistant referee decision to show that Joselu was onside, sparking incredible scenes of celebration in the Bernabeu, with Real hanging on to win 4-3 on aggregate.

Real, 14-time European champions, will face Dortmund on Saturday, June 1 at Wembley.
