Bayern wins the blockbuster match in Madrid

Bayern scored two goals in the blockbuster match against Real Madrid and took a big step towards the Champions League semifinals.

On Tuesday evening at the “Santiago Bernabeu”, Bayern beat the Spanish royal club 2:1.

As expected, the match was of the highest level and full of chances. For a long time, the German champions’ players dominated, leaving Madrid with a very big win.

Luis Diaz put Bayern ahead 1:0 in the 41st minute. The first half ended with the score 1:0.

And just after the start of the second half, specifically in the 46th minute, Harry Kane scored to make it 2:0. He struck beautifully from distance.

The English star returned from injury and found the target again. 32-year-old Kane has scored a full 49 goals for Bayern this season. 11 of those goals have come in ten Champions League matches.

After Bayern’s second goal, the Madrid side launched their offensive.

First, Manuel Neuer did well to close down the angle for Vinicius Junior. He then stopped Kylian Mbappe’s shot and was once again well positioned to save Bayern’s goal.

But even Neuer’s good form was not enough in the 74th minute. Trent Alexander-Arnold found Mbappe well in the box, and he was accurate from close range to make it 2:1.

Real Madrid also went in search of an equalizer, but without success. Mbappe and Vinicius Jr. in particular had further chances.

But Bayern’s players were also dangerous, although they were more focused on protecting their goal.

The 2:1 result leaves the tie open for the return leg, which will be played next Wednesday in Munich. But Bayern have a significant advantage in progressing to the Champions League semifinals.
