Real Madrid orchestrated an remarkable turnaround against Bayern Munich, securing a berth in the Champions League final with a thrilling 2-1 victory.

Joselu emerged as the unlikely hero, delivering two crucial goals in the 88th and 91st minutes to propel Madrid to a 4-3 aggregate win.

Bayern, left frustrated by missed opportunities and controversial refereeing decisions, expressed disappointment at the final whistle. Nevertheless, Madrid's victory added another memorable chapter to their storied European history, setting the stage for an eagerly anticipated final clash against Borussia Dortmund.

Reflecting on the match, Ancelotti emphasised the importance of belief and perseverance, highlighting the team's ability to overcome adversity. Joselu, the hero of the hour, expressed gratitude for the opportunity to contribute to Madrid's success, crediting his teammates for their support.

The road to the final has been filled with challenges for Madrid, including tough opponents and moments of adversity. However, their resilience and determination have seen them through, culminating in a place in the Champions League final.
