Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich LIVE: Champions League result and final score after dramatic semi-final comeback
Real Madrid 2-1 Bayern Munich (4-3 on agg.) Joselu came off the bench to score twice in the final minutes and send Madrid through to another 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.

Thomas Tuchel has dropped hints about his future
When asked if he would move back to England, Tuchel told TNT Sports: “This is a tricky road where you lead me with your charm... I’d rather not answer but it is no secret that I loved it at Chelsea, I loved it in England, I loved it in the Premier League. For sure, it was a very special time and I remember it very well.”

Pre-match stats
Real Madrid have not won in front of their own fans in this season’s Champions League knockout stages.
Carlo Ancelotti is trying to reach his sixth Champions League final as a coach, after reaching three with AC Milan and two previously with Real.
Thomas Tuchel could become the first head coach to take three different teams to a final in this tournament.
Bayern vs Dortmund, or Real Madrid vs Dortmund?
With Borussia Dortmund already through to the final, we know one half of the Wembley line-up on June 1.

Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund would of course be a rematch of the 2013 final, also at Wembley, between the German rivals. That was won by Arjen Robben’s late winner.
Real Madrid and Dortmund have played each other 14 times, including in the 1998 and 2013 semi-finals. They’ve never played in a Champions League final.
