Crowned champion of Spain last weekend four days before the end of the season, the real Madrid won his ticket for the final of the Champions Leagueafter his victory over the Bayern Munich (2-1). After its draw in the first leg (2-2), the White House signed a new comeback, through Josélu (88th and 91st).
The 34-year-old striker, on loan fromEspanyol Barcelona and who had never experienced the high European level until this season, emerged at the end of regulation time to send his team into final by scoring in quick succession in the 88th and 91st minute, when she was virtually eliminated.
In an atmosphere of great evenings, with its metal case finally finished and its roof closed to make the atmosphere even more unbreathable for the Bavarians, the Santiago Bernabéu had yet been plunged into cathedral silence by a jewel from the Canadian Alphonso Daviescame on in place of Gnabry in the first period (68th, 1-0).
As in the first leg (2-2), and as Manchester City in the previous round (3-3), or even more recently the FC Barcelona (3-2), the Germans thought they had done the hardest part and then anticipated an unexpected ninth final after a failed season where they ceded their Bundesliga title, for the first time since 2013, to Bayer Leverkusen.
Especially since their legendary doorman Neuer manualat 38 years old and after months away from the field last season, repelled one after the other the Madrid waves, which had started to break over his cage from the first minutes of the match.
After a double stop against Vinicius Then Rodrygo (13th), helped by his post, the 2014 world champion then completely disgusted the supporters of the real Madrid with three other parades in front of the same Vinicius(40th, 60th) and Rodrygo, (59th). But he ended up breaking two minutes from the end of regulation time, like a defense which had given everything and lacked lucidity in the final moments.
