Real Madrid are through to the Champions League final after coming from behind through Joselu's late double to beat Bayern 2-1 in the second leg, and 4-3 on aggregate.

Madrid dominated the first half, and Vinicius hit the post before Neuer denied Rodrygo on the follow-up. Kane also came close, with Lunin tipping it wide.

Neuer made more great saves to keep things level before Davies, on as a substitute, scored his first Champions League goal after a quick break.

Madrid thought they'd equalised just moments later, but De Ligt's own goal was ruled out for a foul on Kimmich. It looked like that would be the goal to win it, but Madrid weren't to be written off, and another substitute in Joselu, turned things on their heads.

After Neuer spilled a tame Vinicius shot, the Spaniard poked it in from close range and tapped in a second which was originally disallowed for offside, but VAR overturned it. Bayern had no answer to it, and Madrid will face Dortmund at Wembley at the end of May.

Before that, they'll face Granada in LaLiga, while Bayern will host Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga.

After the completion of the match, Real Madrid forward Vinícius Júnior has been named Player of the Match, according to UEFA,
