Madrid will look for a comeback in Munich

The spot in the semifinals of the Champions will be decided next Wednesday at the Allianz Arena following the 1-2 result of the first leg at the Bernabéu. The game started at a frantic pace, and chances quickly emerged in both areas. Bayern had the first opportunity to score in the ninth minute with a set-piece play that ended with a shot from Upamecano inside the box, but Carreras appeared to clear the ball off the goal line. Our team's response came after the first quarter-hour with a through ball from Arda Güler to Mbappé, who, despite being at a tight angle, found himself one-on-one with Neuer, who made a brilliant save. 

Two minutes later, during a quick counterattack, Vini Jr. cut inside past Stanišić at the edge of the box and unleashed a precise shot that forced an outstanding save from Neuer. The next opportunity for Mbappé came even closer to scoring near the half-hour mark. This time, the pass was from Valverde, and the Frenchman's angled shot from inside the box again required Neuer to make a decisive save. The grand European classic was proving spectacular, and just when it seemed the teams would head into halftime without goals, Luis Díaz struck to make it 0-1 during a swift offensive transition in the 41st minute.

Chances
Just moments into the second half, the score became 0-2, with Kane striking from the edge of the box. Real Madrid had a clear chance to narrow the gap in the 61st minute, as Vini Jr. found himself one-on-one with Neuer following a long pass from Trent, but the Brazilian sent the ball into the side netting. Four minutes later, Bayern's goalkeeper prevented the 1-2 with a brilliant save to a tight-angled shot from Mbappé inside the box. In the 69th minute, the Frenchman tried again after a great combination with Vini Jr. inside the box, but his effort missed the target.

Mbappé Scores
Our team was deserving of a goal, and it came in the 74th minute during a collective play that culminated in a spectacular assist from Trent and a finish from Mbappé in the small box. Neuer managed to get his hand on the ball, but it hit the crossbar and crossed the goal line. The Bernabéu erupted, and the team pressed for an equalizer that nearly came in the 89th minute with a strike from Mbappé from the edge of the box that narrowly missed the target. From then until the final whistle, Arbeloa's team continued attacking but couldn't find the way to level the match.
