It could have been a great night for Madrid. It is not known if they would have carried out the tie, given that that 2-3 (totally fair, by the way) meant extra time, not a pass to the semifinals. There were just a few minutes left and then Camavinga arrived and made a reckless mistake, although the second yellow card (there will be opinions for all tastes) may have been excessive. The fact is that Madrid, which dreamed of extra time and also of victory, collapsed. And colorín, colorado.
Arda Güler was the one who made Real Madrid dream of the feat. The first minute of play had not passed when he took advantage of a blunder by Neuer and scored a goal similar to the one he scored against Elche from 68 meters, only a little closer. And then he scored the second with a masterful free kick. Mbappé recovered his scoring instinct after a good pass from Vinícius, which was the only notable thing he did in the entire match. Much more was expected of him, but on this occasion it was not decisive, except for that pass that Mbappé defined perfectly.
Madrid could have won the tie in the 55th minute, with a pass from Trent, one of those that he knows how to give so well. Mbappé finished it as it came to him and when Madrid was already savoring the 2-4 lead, Neuer arrived and rectified his mistake at the beginning with a save that, seeing what happened later, gave Bayern the victory in the tie.
Perhaps Bayern’s 1-1 draw hurt Madrid, due to a major error by Lunin in a corner, but let’s say that this was how the error committed by Neuer was balanced. In any case, Madrid gave Bayern a scare, so why rush. The Bavarians thought they were going to score comfortably and realized that chasing Madrid is not as easy as it seems… even though they have had a tough time at home for some time. Of course, despite the fact that Madrid gave a good image (they could have given it better, however), it is clear that many things have to change with a view to next season.
