Borussia Dortmund sing Adele in changing room after reaching Champions League final

Real Madrid stunned Bayern Munich with a dramatic late comeback as substitute Joselu scored twice in the final minutes to send the 14-time winners through to the Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund at Wembley.

Madrid were heading for a shock defeat when Alphonso Davies silenced the Bernabeu with a stunning strike, with Bayern manager Thomas Tuchel minutes from pulling off a remarkable upset after a backs-to-the-wall defensive performance.

But an error from Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who looked unbeatable in denying Vinicius Jr earlier in the contest, allowed Joselu to score an 88th minute equaliser as the German spilled a tame shot.

Joselu then tapped in Antonio Rudiger’s cross moments later. It was initially disallowed for offside but it was awarded following a VAR review, sending Madrid through to the Wembley final where they will look to win a record-extending 15th European crown.

Another chance, this time to Kane, who takes his shot, but can only find the side netting.

And Minjae will come on for Sane, in Bayern’s second change of the game.

Real Madrid 0-1 Bayern Munich

75’ There are just 15 minutes left of normal time for Real to find a goal to take this to extra time.

Steve McManaman said on TNT Sports: “I think it (the disallowed goal) is the correct decision. He’s pushed him in the face, it’s always going to get chalked off.”

DISALLOWED GOAL! The hosts hit back straight away! Real Madrid 0-1 Bayern Munich

71’ Could this be ruled out? Nacho is the player who plays it onto De Ligt who deflects the ball into the back of the net.

Nacho undoubtedly pushes Kimmich, and it will be on the big screen, and it has been disallowed!

GOAL! Davies scores to break the deadlock! Real Madrid 0-1 Bayern Munich

68’ GOAL! Alphonso Davies breaks the deadlock!

The Bayern player had never scored in the Champions League before, but after being picked out by Harry Kane he cut in from the left and unleashed a shot past Lunin and into the back of the net!
