Bayern knocks out Real

Bayern Munich came from behind twice and scored in the 89th minute and stoppage time to beat Real Madrid 4-3 on April 15, reaching the Champions League semifinals 6-4 on aggregate. (uefa.com) Real wiped out Bayern’s first-leg edge almost immediately when Arda Güler scored after 37 seconds, and he added a second in the 29th minute. Harry Kane made it 2-2 on the night in the 38th minute with his 50th goal of the season before Kylian Mbappé struck in the 42nd. (espn.com) The tie was level at 4-4 on aggregate and heading toward extra time when Eduardo Camavinga was sent off in the 86th minute after a second yellow card. Luis Díaz scored in the 89th minute and Michael Olise added Bayern’s fourth in the 90th minute plus four. (reuters.com) The result sends Bayern into a semifinal against Paris Saint-Germain, the defending European champion. Bayern had won the first leg 2-1 at the Santiago Bernabéu, which meant Madrid needed a result in Munich to stay alive. (bundesliga.com) For Madrid, the collapse landed on top of a season that had already come under strain in Europe and at home. ESPN reported that coach Álvaro Arbeloa called Camavinga’s dismissal decisive, while Jude Bellingham called the decision “a joke.” (espn.com) The match ended in more disorder when Güler, already on two goals, was shown a straight red card after the final whistle. Sportstar reported that Madrid’s camp directed much of its anger at referee Slavko Vinčić and at a broader campaign that will now finish without the Champions League. (sportstar.thehindu.com) Bayern’s win also kept alive a season in which Kane has turned goals into routine production. UEFA’s match report listed Kane, Díaz and Olise among Bayern’s scorers in a quarterfinal that produced seven goals in 90 minutes and flipped again in the final five. (uefa.com) Madrid left Munich arguing about the red card. Bayern left with the only number that counted: 6-4 over two legs, and a place in the last four. (skysports.com)
