Joselu takes over and rocks the match: Real Madrid triumphs over Bayern.
The Champions League semi-finals have always been the stage for the great stars of football. Today the dribble me Vinicius and Rodrygo; thehurricane Harry Kane; the experts Kroos and Müller; rising stars Musiala and Bellingham. This evening, however, it is the least expected man who decides it. For months there has been talk about how Real Madrid lack a real number 9, and it is now public knowledge that Mbappé will reach i white on a free transfer to complete the offensive department available to Ancelotti. But these are discussions to be postponed: the unexpected thing turned the Champions League semi-final between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich upside down Joselu. The humble and overlooked forward did just enough to become the hero of the match, that is, pounce on loose balls and exploit the indecisions of the opposing defenses. Everything that was missing from him to close the accounts.
The first half was rather dull, with Bayern defending short and narrow to keep the attacks of Vinicius and his teammates at bay, trying to recover the ball and turn the front around. The second half of the game, however, was much more exciting. The hosts dominated possession, grinding out chances without exploiting a single one, with Vinicius incessantly driving the German rearguard crazy. As often happens, however, football not being an exact sciencea lack of attention is enough for the team that has the ball in the game to go behind in the score: this happens thanks to the wonderful foil of Kane per Alphonso Davieswho leaves Rudiger on the spot and unloads a very violent left behind Lunin.

Real Madrid seems to have suffered the blow, lacking precision and without playing with the same naturalness as before. At minute 88, the moment nail: Vinicius, after an endless game, shoots weakly from the edge of the area; Neuerwho saved his people on more than one occasion, he doesn’t block the ball and clears it clumsily. This is where number 9 Joselu’s instincts prevail, burning Bayern’s defensive line and equalizing the score. A few minutes later, with the Bavarians trying to take the game to extra time and Real pushing with their last remaining strength, the ball lands at the feet of Rüdiger (kept in play by Pavlovic) who crosses without thinking twice: Joselu repeats it into the net. Following a VAR check that kept the entire stadium in suspense, Real Madrid can celebrate.
Il Bavariawhatever anyone says, he played his dirty game, and he almost prevailed. Until the terrible one two of Joselu had remained in the match (thanks also to a good dose of luck), and almost did not reach his compatriots Borussia Dortmund in the final. Kimmich was undoubtedly the one who disappointed who suffered Vinicius for the entire ninety minutes (who wouldn’t?) e Sane, who on several occasions seemed listless and imprecise. Neuer kept Tuchel’s team up until the serious inaccuracy that favored Joselu’s first goal, but this very error inevitably affects the judgment of his match. On the other side, Kroos he dictated the pace to perfection today too, with a dozen millimetric changes of play performed in the first half alone. In the end, Vinicius spread panic throughout the green rectangle: when the Brazilian is on a matchday, he is simply unstoppable.
Ancelotti reachesthanks to this evening’s success, his fifth career Champions League final (as a coach). Waiting for him at Wembley are Terzic and Reus: fate has given the German number 11 the last chance to win a big trophy with Borussia, but to do so he must overcome a Real team that seems infallible in Europe. This season, however, Borussia itself has shown that it is capable of overturning predictions, so the result in London will be anything but a foregone conclusion.
