Real Madrid thwarted the possibility of an all-German Champions League final by securing a 2-1 victory over Bayern Munich with two late goals, advancing 4-3 on aggregate to reach their sixth final in a decade. They will face Borussia Dortmund for their 15th title bid at Wembley on June 1. However, Bayern’s outgoing manager, Thomas Tuchel, criticized the decision to halt play before his team scored a stoppage-time equalizer, calling it a betrayal. Despite leading 1-0 through Alphonso Davies’ goal, Bayern suffered setbacks, including an error from goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, allowing Real to equalize and score again. Tuchel lamented the referee’s decisions and Neuer’s mistake, emphasizing the bitter disappointment felt by the team. Nonetheless, Real’s coach, Carlo Ancelotti, credited the victory to the team’s resilience and described it as a magical moment.
