Toni Kroos and Vinicius shined brightly in the ‘climax’ battle with Bayern Muchen in the Champions League semi-finals at Allianz Arena

In the semi-finals of the Champions League first leg, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich brought a satisfying match for viewers with a score of 2-2.

With home advantage, Bayern did not hesitate to attack right from the start of the match. They exerted great pressure, causing Real Madrid’s goal to continuously wobble.

Even at 40 seconds, goalkeeper Lunin had to save from Leroy Sane’s face-to-face shot. A few minutes later, Harry Kane made his mark with dangerous shots. However, despite creating countless opportunities, the home team’s strikers lacked sharpness.

As for Real Madrid, they show the necessary bravery and coolness. They didn’t finish as many goals as their opponents, but they were the team that scored first.

With just a moment of distraction for Bayern’s defense, Toni Kroos delicately poked Vinicius Jr. out into the open. The Brazilian striker defeated Manuel Neuer in a face-to-face position, opening the score for Real Madrid in the 24th minute.

The goal made the match more attractive. Bayern ramped up their squad to play offensively to find an equalizer. However, it was not until the beginning of the second half that the goals came to them. Even those were consecutive goals.

In the 53rd minute, Leroy Sane received the ball on the right wing, turned inside and eliminated Ferland Mendy. The German striker fired a strong shot from his left foot into the near corner, causing Lunin to give up as the ball went close to the post.

This goal certainly reminds many people of Arjen Robben when he was playing for Bayern Munich.

Just 4 minutes later, the home team had their second goal when Harry Kane successfully scored a penalty. Before that, Lucas Vazquez was the one who fouled Musiala in the penalty area.

The two teams played tit-for-tat in the following minutes. Bayern still has many better opportunities, but Real Madrid is not too far behind. When unable to score, the “gray tigers” once again paid the price for their mistakes.

Central defender Kim Min Jae appeared slow and blatantly blocked Rodrygo in the penalty area, causing Bayern to receive a penalty. Vinicius completed his double when he deceived Manuel Neuer in the 83rd minute, also sealing the score at 2-2.

This is a beneficial result for Real Madrid as in the second leg, they will play at Santiago Bernabeu’s home field.
