Champions League Player Ratings | Bayern Munich 4-3 Real Madrid (6-4 AGG): Bayern into the semi-finals after a classic

However, his pass to the right-hand side was undercooked, Güler intercepted, and curled in a first-time finish to set up a frantic start. Just a few minutes later, it was Lunin’s time to drop a stinker. Kimmich’s corner looked as if it was going to be easily cleared by Lunin, but the Ukrainian completely fluffed his line, showing the same strength as a twig, and landed in the net along with the ball – Pavlovic with a header from the goalline to make it 1-1 and 3-2 overall.

Unsurprisingly, the game calmed down a bit after the opening exchanges, but was still played at a great tempo. Olise tried a couple of his mazing runs, Mbappe got in behind but couldn’t test Neuer, Kane with his sweeping cross-field balls, just a plethora of world-class talent on show. Just before the 30-minute mark, Madrid fired themselves 1-2 up (3-3 on aggregate).

Güler’s second of the night came via a free kick from around 25 yards. It was a fabulous strike, but replays showed that Neuer really should have done better with his save. The 40-year-old got a good glove to it and should have kept it out.

Bayern will also feel that the foul in the build-up to the goal was harsh. This only added to the frantic nature we saw at the start. Bayern looked to get back on the front-foot but a flurry of meaty challenges went flying in from both sides.
