Bayern Munich 4-3 Real Madrid: Diaz and Olise strike late to send Bavarians into Champions League semi-finals

Bayern Munich snatched a dramatic 4-3 victory over Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League quarter-final in the second leg at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday evening.

The Bavarians have now progressed to the semi-finals after winning 6-4 on aggregate. They will face holders Paris Saint-Germain, who knocked Liverpool out on Tuesday.

Madrid got off to a flying start, opening the scoring inside 45 seconds as Arder Guler curled into the net from 25 yards, scoring the Los Blancos’ fastest goal in the competition.

Bayern restored parity in the sixth minute as Aleksandar Pavlovic headed Joshua Kimmich’s cross beyond Andriy Lunin.

Guler restored Madrid’s lead just before the half-hour mark, curling a beautiful free-kick beyond Neuer.

Bayern drew level once again in the 38th minute, with Harry Kane finding the bottom corner clinically, registering his 50th goal across all competitions.

Shortly after, Vinicius Junior nearly put the visitors back ahead with a powerful strike, only to be denied by the woodwork.

The Brazilian set up Madrid’s third before half-time, sliding a wonderful pass to Kylian Mbappe’s path, who coolly slotted past Neuer.

The Frenchman came close to getting another in the 56th minute with a clean volley, but this time Neuer was equal to the task.

Bayern’s first genuine attempt in the second period came after the hour mark when Michael Olise curled towards the top corner, but Lunin tipped over.

Two minutes from time, Eduardo Camavinga was sent off, and moments later, Bayern took advantage of their numerical advantage.

Luis Diaz found a space inside the box and curled into the top corner to level the scores.

Olise scored a dramatic winner in stoppage time, curling into the corner, sealing the Bavarians’ spot in the semi-finals.
