Bayern Munich's Champions League Dream Crushed
Bayern falls to Real Madrid in dramatic semi-final
Bayern Munich's dream of a Champions League final in Wembley Stadium was shattered on Tuesday night, as they were defeated 2-1 by Real Madrid in the semi-final second leg.
The Bavarians had taken a 1-0 lead into the second leg, but Real Madrid fought back with two goals from Karim Benzema to secure their place in the final.
The first half was a cagey affair, with both sides struggling to create clear-cut chances. However, Real Madrid took the lead just after the hour mark when Benzema headed home from close range.
Bayern Munich pushed for an equalizer, but they were caught on the break with just minutes remaining, as Benzema scored his second of the night to seal Real Madrid's victory.
The defeat is a major disappointment for Bayern Munich, who had been hoping to reach their first Champions League final since 2013. However, Real Madrid will now face Liverpool in the final on May 28th.
