The match between Bayern and Real Madrid was a rollercoaster of emotions. Kane’s assist for Alphonso Davies’ goal initially seemed to secure Bayern’s trip to Wembley.

However, the game took an unexpected turn when Joselu, a 34-year-old on loan from second division Espanyol, scored the equalizer and the winning goal in added time. Kane and Bayern gradually gained momentum, but the Bernabeu was filled with anxiety as the match progressed.

Davies’ stunning goal gave Bayern the lead, only to be followed by a disallowed goal after a VAR check. The drama continued as Neuer’s mistake gifted Real Madrid a lifeline, leading to Joselu’s dramatic tap-in equalizer.

The tension in the stadium heightened when Joselu appeared to score again, but a VAR check overturned the decision, ultimately sending Real and Bellingham to Wembley. The match’s dramatic twists and turns certainly defied the notion that VAR diminishes the excitement of the game.
