Bayern Munich, one of the favorite teams to win the Champions this year, was eliminated yesterday by Villarreal, a team that is seventh in the Spanish league.
The Germans in recent years have been surpassed by the Spanish teams, as we will see in the following list.
Real Madrid faced one of the favorites and the defending champion of the Champions League in the semifinals, but after endorsing four goals in the first leg and one in the second leg, the Whites eliminated Bayern and qualified for a final that they would end up winning.
The Bavarians would reach the semi-finals again the following season, but this time their black beast would be the Barça of Messi, Neymar and Luis Suárez, a team that would end up winning the treble. In the first leg, at the Nou Camp, Barça won 3-0 with two goals from Messi and one from Neymar, a result that would allow them to go into the second leg calmly enough to pass. In Munich the result was 3-2 for the Germans.
A season later, Bayern met a Spanish team in the semi-finals and the same story was repeated again. Atlético de Madrid eliminated the Germans, although this time it was unable to win the Champions League trophy like its two predecessors in previous seasons. This tie was much more even, and the rojiblancos managed to win the first leg at home by 1-0, while in the second leg, being 2-1, they enforced the old rule of double the value of away goals and happen.
This time, the Germans fell against the Whites in the quarterfinals. Bayern at least forced extra time in the second leg after leveling the 1-2 first leg that Real Madrid had won at the Allianz Arena. However, in extra time, two goals from Cristiano Ronaldo ended all Bavarian hopes of passing would end up eliminated.
For the fifth consecutive year the Germans met a Spanish team and for the fifth consecutive year they were eliminated. This time in the semifinals, the Whites managed to win the first leg 1-2, and in the second leg, an error by Ulreich allowed Real Madrid to equalize and condemned Bayern to watch the final from home again.
When it seemed that Bayern’s curse with the Spanish teams in the Champions League had already ended (the Germans eliminated Barça in the quarterfinals in 2020), the tie that was decided yesterday against Villarreal arrived, and Bayern fell again against a team from La League. The yellow sumbarino with a sensational Albiol won the first leg 1-0 and tied 1-1 in the second leg, leaving the Bavarians out of the semifinals.
