Real Madrid has done it again. When everyone could have considered him dead against City and Bayern Munich, he did the epic again. First at City’s home, holding on like few teams have done on countless occasions cityzens to end up going through penalties, and in the semifinals, in the 87th minute they were eliminated and in a matter of 5 minutes they had already turned everything around. The King of Europe is in the final again and does not plan to miss the opportunity to win the fifteenth.
The merengue group did not have the most difficult group of all, but it was not particularly easy either. A Naples that came as champion of Serie A promised to be a very tough rival, and Unión Berlin, as it seemed in the previous season, and thanks to how it had been strengthened, also seemed much better than what, luckily or unfortunately, it ended up being. .
It is true that Braga did not seem like a rival for any of the other 3 in the group, but whatever the case, the Madrid team managed to get rid of all those who tried to put themselves above them in a group from which they got all the possible points .
In the round of 16 the first rival arrived that managed to get a draw against the Spanish team, but it would not be enough, since RB Leipzig’s efforts were in vain against a Real Madrid that won at home and closed at home with a 1-1 which was of no use to the Germans.
Until this moment, the team from the capital had won all but this last game, and this would be a rule that the team will maintain throughout the competition since until the final, they have not yet lost a single game.
And the current Champions League champion arrived, the last one who had been able to beat Real Madrid in this competition and who arrived in great form. But as this Madrid has accustomed u
s to, you will need much more than that to be able to beat them, and more so for two years in a row.
The first leg at home was a loss for both teams, 3 goals per side in a draw that made everyone get up from their seats. A close by Valverde made the tie possible just a few minutes from the end and much less what Real Madrid needs to believe that they can pass a tie that they managed to hold on to in English territory. The second leg was very tough and after an early goal and knowing how to lock in behind, some penalties came that put Lunin in great esteem to take them to the semifinals with a great stop.
The European classic took place again in the Champions League semi-finals where it seemed that, although just barely, Real Madrid came in a little better, as league champion, and Bayern is in a season that has not been very good. The first leg once again saw several goals, and despite the Spaniards taking the lead, Bayern managed to respond and then went the other way to end 2-2.
And the return, this time, and for the first time so far in the competition at the Bernabéu, you could already think what it was going to be like. Bayern managed to take the lead with a goal in the 69th minute, but when everything is lost is when Real Madrid knows how to respond best. The last 3 minutes of the game were approaching, and when you don’t kill Madrid, Madrid gives it back to you, and in the 87th minute they were able to score the tie. But there is no fate more cruel than that of a clueless visitor at the Bernabéu and the discount is what separates you from being one more to knowing that you can achieve it, and the meringues know more than anyone that this is their territory. Joselu managed to score his second goal of the game to consecrate a comeback that was once ag
ain epic in a new historic night for Real Madrid.
And of course, Real Madrid once again in the Champions League final. They already know their rival, Borussia Dortmund, and it is expected that, unlike their previous rivals, the meringues will not despise them, thinking they are favorites and have everything done, no matter how much they may be. And there are plenty of reasons to think that the white club has the chance to win, even if only through experience.
Madrid spent years suffering from not getting the tenth, and it seems that all that suffering has been rewarded in knowledge to know how to face the playoffs in the last minutes. It’s true that like the last one they won, this one tastes epic, it tastes like they won it again, and it’s going to be very difficult for the Germans to take this Champions League away from them, but as they say, the die is cast.
