Champions League: Joselu took Real Madrid to the final by scoring twice

Real Madrid 2:1 Bayern Munich (Real Madrid won 4:3 on aggregate).

From the beginning of the match, it felt as if the match was between Vinicius Jr. vs. Manuel Neuer – reflected by the visuals of the match. From the looks of the situation, it seemed that either of them was going to be the hero of the match.

But not Vinicius or Neuer, Joselu became the hero of the Real-Bayern Champions League semi-final second leg. The 34 year old striker scored two goals in 3 minutes for Real Madrid, who were trailing by one goal. Two late goals that sent Real into the Champions League final.

Match highlight and goals

Match-turner Joselu came on in the 81st minute, replacing F. Valverde. Alphonso Davies’ goal 11 minutes before Bayern advanced in the match. However, the fans are still hopeful because the team is Real. Cause which other team has more experience and ability to turn around the game without giving up until the last minute if not this.

Joselu gave Real the moment to turn around in the 88th minute. Bayern goalkeeper Neuer got the shot from Vinicius. But Neuer, who had defended the chances of four goals so far, missed the ball in this phase. The opportunist joselu made no mistake as he was close enough to put the ball into the net.

The next goal came In the 91st minute. That too dramatically. Antony Rudiger flicked the ball from Nacho to Joselu, who was flagged for offside before the ball hit the net and cheered. However, VAR check showed that Rudiger and Joselu were both onside. The entire Real Madrid dugout burst onto the pitch in celebration of the goal. Joselu became the main attraction of the celebration.

However, despite attacking one after another throughout the first part of the match and the second half, Real could not see the goal. Vinicius made repeated attacks down the left flank, taking the ball to the by line and raising it into the goal. But nothing worked. In the 13th minute of the match, Rodrygo took a powerful shot after Vini’s shot hit the post and it was blocked.

Bayern’s expert goalkeeper blocked Rodrygo’s goal-scoring shots in the 40th and 59th minutes. It is not that Bayern did not attack the Real defense. However, Harry Kane, Jamal Musiala could not put Andre Lunin to such a big test even though they spread fear.

Alphonso Davies (scored the only goal for Bayern)

Much against the trend of the game, Bayern Munich scored in the 68th minute. Davies controlled Kane’s long ball from their own half brilliantly into the Real box and slotted into the far corner. Lunin had no choice but to jump. However, until the end, Real did not have to leave the field with the stagnation of that goal. Because, in the end, Joselu was in the field.
