How did the match go?

The first half started at a lively pace, with good chances for both sides. In the 10th minute, Bayern missed a great opportunity: after a cross from Kimmich, Kane laid it off for Upamecano, who mishit his shot, and Carreras cleared it off the line.

Shortly after, Real Madrid responded through Mbappé, who struck powerfully and forced a big save from Neuer.

The better side on the pitch, Bayern Munich opened the scoring in the 40th minute. After a through ball from Gnabry, Luis Díaz finished past Lunin and put the Germans ahead.

After the break, Bayern doubled their lead in lightning fashion. Just 20 seconds in, Gnabry made an individual run and found Kane, who tried his luck from outside the box and scored the second. Real Madrid tried to respond and threatened in the 16th minute, when Vinícius Jr. broke into the area and tried to dribble past Neuer, who came out well and prevented the goal.

The Spanish side pulled one back in the 29th minute. After a low cross from Arnold, Mbappé hit it hard, Neuer got a hand to it, but the ball crossed the line, with the goal confirmed by Uefa’s technology.
