Vinicius’ dynamic performance propels Madrid into Champions League semi-finals following dramatic draw with Bayern.
Bayern Munich and Real Madrid ended in a 2-2 draw at Allianz Arena, leaving the Champions League semi-final undecided.
In an electrifying Champions League semi-final first leg on Tuesday, Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior scored two crucial goals, securing a draw against Bayern Munich.
Vinicius Junior scored the opening goal for Madrid after receiving a perfectly timed pass from Toni Kroos. Leroy Sane and Harry Kane then netted for Bayern within four minutes in the second half.
However, Madrid managed to equalize through a penalty by Vinicius Junior after Rodrygo was fouled. The tie remains open for both teams heading into the return leg next week.
Kim Min-Jae’s mistake allowed Rodrygo to score Madrid’s equalizer, setting the stage for a thrilling conclusion in the next leg. Bayern dominated initially but saw their lead vanish in the second half.
Bayern will rely on Harry Kane, who has been instrumental with 8 goals and 3 assists in the competition. Madrid has a strong record of advancing after avoiding defeat in the first leg away from home.
Thomas Tuchel will hope for a positive result in Madrid to secure Bayern’s spot in the final despite Madrid’s historical advantage in similar situations.
