The poster looked grandiose between two behemoths of European football, and it kept all its promises. Opposed in the semi-final first leg of the Champions League on Tuesday evening, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid engaged in a real roller coaster fight, in an atmosphere worthy of the event.
The 75,000 spectators at the Allianz Arena went through all the emotions. First the enthusiasm of a start to the match dominated head and shoulders by their team, with two big chances for Leroy Sané (1st) and Harry Kane (5th).
But after 20 minutes of ultimately fruitless domination, the Madrilenians scored on their very first foray into the opposing camp by Vinicius, served by a brilliant pass from Toni Kroos.

A little cooled, the Bavarians waited until the locker room returned to react. It was worth it: four minutes of pure euphoria, between the 53rd and 57th minutes. Leroy Sané showed the way, with an action worthy of the Robben of the great era. The Bayern left-hander took the ball on the right side, cutting into the middle of three Spanish defenders before releasing a sudden effort at the near post. Great art, followed a few minutes later by a penalty from Kane, following a foul caused by Musiala.

But Real would not be what it is in C1 if it had not yet returned to the match. Thank you Vinicius, author of a little festival in the area before launching Rodrygo, caught by the collar by Kim. Penalty, transformed by the Brazilian to score a double.
The Madrilenians leave Bavaria in a good position, but with the end of the away goal rule, the return match next week remains very open. Yum.
