Real Madrid had been minutes away from exiting the Champions League at the semi-final stage for the second successive season, but now, with two goals in the space of a few minutes, they are now on course to reach the final, having gone 2-1 up against Bayern Munich.
After dominating the opening 67 minutes, and missing multiple big chances, Real Madrid fell behind in the 68th courtesy of Alphonso Davies. However, his goal has been cancelled out completely. First, Joselu Mato fired home after a terrible error from Manuel Neuer, who had been spectacular up until that point.
JOSELU IS MADRID'S HERO! 🤩
A rare mistake from Manuel Neuer 😬

Minutes later, Joselu made it 2-1. He turned home an Antonio Rudiger cutback – the goal was initially ruled out, before a VAR check confirmed that he was indeed onside.
