Joselu netted two late goals with his first three touches of the ball. Bayern Munich initially took the lead with a thunderous strike from Canadian sensation Alphonso Davies in the 68th minute, raising the German giant’s hopes.

Despite the presence of former Tottenham duo Harry Kane and Eric Dier, who sought redemption for past defeats, Real Madrid prevailed. In the 88th minute, Joselu came off the bench to level the score before sealing victory just two minutes later.
The last was initially ruled offside, but a quick VAR review overturned the decision, confirming Joselu’s onside position and sparking celebrations among Madrid fans. With the win, Carlo Ancelotti’s men will now face Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League final on June 1, at Wembley Stadium in London.
