Real Madrid's Magical Bernabéu Inspires Stunning Comeback Victory
Bayern Munich's Champions League Hopes Dashed in Madrid
Real Madrid produced a stunning Champions League comeback to sink Bayern Munich 2-1 and 4-3 on aggregate, reaching the final of the competition.
Carlo Ancelotti's team found themselves trailing 1-0 from the first leg in Munich but turned the tie on its head with a spirited performance at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium.
Rodrygo scored twice in the space of two minutes late in normal time to level the tie on aggregate, before Karim Benzema struck the winner in extra time to send the home crowd into raptures.
The victory was a testament to the never-say-die attitude of Real Madrid, who have now reached their 17th Champions League final.
Bayern Munich left to rue missed chances
Bayern Munich will be left to rue a number of missed chances as they crashed out of the Champions League at the semi-final stage.
The German champions had the better of the first half and could have taken the lead on several occasions, but they failed to find the back of the net.
Their profligacy in front of goal came back to haunt them in the second half as Real Madrid took control of the game and eventually ran out deserved winners.
Ancelotti praises Bernabéu magic
Carlo Ancelotti was full of praise for the Santiago Bernabéu stadium after the game, crediting the magical atmosphere for inspiring his team to victory.
"The Bernabéu is a special place," said Ancelotti. "It's a stadium where anything is possible. The fans are incredible and they give us a huge boost."
Real Madrid will now face either Manchester City or Chelsea in the Champions League final, which will be played in Istanbul on May 29.
