Bayern-Real draw in the Champions League

 Bayern-Real draw in the Champions League

The match between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid was described as The Battle of Royals. It was at the end of 90 minutes that the first leg of the semi-final was truly elite. Both teams offered classic football at Bayern's home ground, the Allianz Arena. Fate also probably did not want to disappoint anyone. The high voltage match ended in a 2-2 draw.

The first half showed why Real Madrid are the best in the Champions League. Bayern Munich could have gone ahead in the opening forty seconds. Leroy Sane got a great ball around Harry Kane's feet. But he made a mistake while taking a shot at the far post. Real goalkeeper Andre Lunin made a great save. After defeating Manchester City in the quarter finals, he is the savior of Real again today.

 The game was like this for the first 20 minutes. Jamal Musiala raided Real's box several times. But Carlo Ancelotti's solid Italian defense let the hosts down time and again. Harry Kane could not take a strong shot even after receiving the ball himself. And Sane lost control of the ball with a bad touch. The punishment for the abuse of so many opportunities is as if Real has given it in the 23rd minute.

Thomas Tuchel has always been a coach of the Gregenpressing genre. Bayern defender Kim Min-jae came out on top in the battle for possession. Another defender, Eric Dyer, was busy marking Bellingham. Real's German midfielder Toni Kroos was waiting for it. Vinicius Jr. received a great pass from Kroos. The Brazilian, who is at the peak of form, easily found the ball in the net (1-0).

This is Vinicius' 8th goal in his last 11 matches. With this, Vinny Jr. scored three consecutive goals in the Champions League semi-finals. In the first half, no one got much chance. However, both teams received free kicks in dangerous areas. No one kept the ball on target.

In the seventh minute of the second half, Leroy Sane made amends for the mistakes of the first half. Ferland got the ball close to the D-box and took a pass from Mendy to the near post with a superb shot. Real's defense is helpless in front of his amazing speed. Andrey Lunin (1-1) was not able to stop that bullet speed shot.

 Bayern took the lead just after four minutes on the clock. Fede Valverde was forced to foul Jamal Musiala in the box. The referee did not delay in blowing the penalty whistle. Spotki was scored by Harry Kane (2-1). It was his first goal against Real. This Englishman is now the top scorer in the Champions League this season.

Harry Kane could have put the Bavarians ahead again in the 65th minute. His weak shot bounced off a defender and narrowly missed Real's net. Eric Dier's superb header from a corner could not extend the gap. On the contrary, not only did Real not get a chance, Vinicius also had a chance to score. Although Kim Min Jae did his job right this time.

 In the 81st minute, Kim Min Jae brought danger to Bayern again. This defender gave Real a penalty by fouling Rodrigo in the Dbox. Vinicius had no problem scoring from the spot kick (2-2). The Brazilian star stunned the Allianz Arena once again.

 The rest of the match was played by both teams with some composure. As if Harry Kane-Toni Kroos wanted to save the rest of the excitement for the second leg in Madrid.
