Real Madrid Stuns Bayern with Late Comeback, Advances to Champions League Final

Real Madrid completed a stunning comeback against Bayern Munich, overturning a 1-0 deficit to win 4-3 on aggregate and secure a spot in the Champions League final. The match was decided in dramatic fashion, with substitute Joselu scoring a late brace, including a stoppage-time winner, to send Los Blancos to Wembley.

Vinicius Jr. was a constant threat to Bayern’s defense, hitting the post in the first half and forcing Manuel Neuer into several saves. Rodrygo also had chances, but it wasn’t until Joselu’s introduction that Madrid found the breakthrough.

Alphonso Davies had given Bayern the lead with a stunning strike midway through the second half, leaving Madrid needing two goals to progress. Joselu’s first came from close range after Neuer’s mistake, and his second was a well-worked team effort, with Antonio Rudiger providing the assist.

The win marks a turnaround for Madrid, who appeared to be heading out of the competition before Joselu’s heroics.

Real Madrid will now look to win their 15th Champions League title when they face Borussia Dortmund in the final.
