The right to play Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final at Wembley on June 1 is a huge bonus on offer when Real Madrid take on Bayern Munich on Wednesday night. With the first leg tied at 2-2, this clash between two of Europe’s most successful clubs was a brilliant affair – a cautious first half with both goalkeepers handling the few good chances expertly. The closest either team came to a goal was Vinicius Junior’s shot that hit the Bayern post from Manuel Neuer after 13 minutes. Real Madrid turned up the pressure after half-time, with Vinicius looking particularly threatening. But Bayern – as Real Madrid have done so many times against their Champions League rivals – absorbed this and shocked their opponents on the stroke of half-time through Alphonso Davies’ superb finish. Bayern can almost see Wembley on the horizon, but this is Real Madrid and even a journeyman like Joselu can become a Champions League legend. The former Stoke City striker sent the Bernabeu into a frenzy with two goals in three minutes and sensationally booked a trip to Wembley for Carlo Ancelotti’s side, but there was some controversy late on.
