Real Madrid<\/a> has defeated Bayern Munich<\/a> in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League<\/a> semi-final, surging back from one goal down to win 2-1 at Santiago Bernabeu and go through to the final against Borussia Dortmund<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a frenetic contest, Bayern only took the lead in the 68th minute after a brilliant Alphonso Davies goal from long range (video below).<\/p>\n

Up to that point, Madrid looked the more threatening side led by Vincius Jr.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What followed was utter bedlam as the equalising goal in the 71st minute was disallowed after Nacho shoved Joshua Kimmich (video below).<\/p>\n

The score remained 1-0 to the visitors but Madrid continued to threaten.<\/p>\n

With just two minutes remaining in regular play, Joselu scored after Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer spilled the ball after Jincius Jr took a shot on goal.<\/p>\n

"If you look at it very closely, it does take a little bit of a bounce off the turf \u2013 but a goalkeeper of that class, come on. You should be gobbling that up," said former Premier League goalkeeper Mark Bosnich on Stan Sport's coverage.<\/p>\n

\"Nacho<\/p>\n

That put them level and just two minutes later in the 90th minute, Joselu scored again.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Madrid had to wait for confirmation after the sideline referee called Joselu offside, only for the video assistant referee to overturn the decision and award the goal.<\/p>\n

Nine minutes of added time blew out to 15 in the end.<\/p>\n

Bayern looked like they might have equalised at the death only for the whistle to have been blown for offside before the ball went into the goal.<\/p>\n
