Madrid loses in Munich after a great match, in which they were leading with goals from Güler (2) and Mbappé until the 86th minute, when Camavinga's controversial red card tipped the tie in Bayern's favor.
Real Madrid was eliminated from the Champions League. Our team delivered a great performance, and with a brace from Arda Güler and a goal from Mbappé, they were leading 2-3 until the 89th minute. Everything changed when Slavko Vinčić controversially sent off Camavinga in the 86th minute for a second yellow card. From that moment, spaces opened up for the home side, and two late goals secured Bayern's qualification.
The match started in the best possible way. After just 34 seconds, Arda Güler capitalized on a passing error by Neuer to slot the ball into the net with a precise long-range shot. Five minutes later, Bayern equalized from a set piece. Kimmich delivered the corner, and Pavlović headed the ball just over the goal line. The game was being played at a frenetic pace, with both teams going all out for goals. Kimmich nearly scored in the 27th minute with a left-footed shot inside the box, but Lunin produced a spectacular save.
Arda Güler's Brace
Our team's response was immediate and emphatic. Arda Güler made it 1-2 in the 29th minute with a spectacular free-kick from the edge of the area. A brace for the Turkish player and the tie was level, but in the 38th minute, Kane made it 2-2 after beating Lunin with a shot inside the box. The back-and-forth action was intense, and in the 41st minute, it could have been 2-3 when Vini Jr. smashed a left-footed shot against the crossbar. The Brazilian was decisive a minute later, providing the assist that allowed Mbappé to finish off a quick and precise counterattack, beating Neuer in a one-on-one.
The first half ended 2-3 in a thrilling game. There were still 45 minutes left to decide a tie that stood at 4-4 on aggregate. Our team could have scored again in the 55th minute. Valverde regained possession in the opposition half, Trent delivered a very precise ball into the box, and Mbappé's volley was denied by a brilliant save from Neuer. Eleven minutes later, the goalkeeper impressed again, this time stopping a powerful left-footed shot from Valverde from the edge of the area. In the 68th minute, Lunin also made a great save, stopping a shot from Olise from a similar distance.
Controversial Red Card for Camavinga
The dynamics of the game had shifted. Bayern's attacks became more static, and our team defended compactly near their area. In the 86th minute, Slavko Vinčić made a pivotal decision in the tie by showing a second yellow card to Camavinga for holding the ball. Three minutes later, Luis Díaz scored the 3-3 after his shot deflected off Militão, securing Bayern's qualification. In stoppage time, Olise scored the definitive 4-3.
