April 15, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nBayern\u2019s first-leg lead lasted only 35 seconds as Neuer played a dismal pass straight to Guler, who curled a first-time attempt into the unguarded net from 30 yards out.<\/p>\n
Some equally generous goalkeeping at the other end led to a quickfire equaliser, though, with Aleksandar Pavlovic unable to miss with a close-range header after Lunin became pinned behind his line from Joshua Kimmich\u2019s corner.<\/p>\n
Bayern started to dominate, but Madrid struck again in the 29th minute as Guler whipped a 25-yard free-kick over the wall, with Neuer unable to hook it away from the top-right corner.<\/p>\n
The Bundesliga champions came storming back, needing nine minutes to respond on this occasion as Kane stroked home, but there was another goal to come before half-time.<\/p>\n
Vinicius Junior crashed an effort off the crossbar as the end-to-end action continued, and the Brazilian then teed up Mbappe to slot past Neuer in the 42nd minute.<\/p>\n
The contest continued in the same vein after the interval, but without the same level of clinical finishing. Olise sent two curlers narrowly over and Diaz passed up a pair of chances, while Neuer made an excellent reflex save from Mbappe\u2019s point-blank volley.<\/p>\n
Camavinga put Madrid\u2019s hopes in jeopardy when, having already been booked, he picked up the ball to prevent a Bayern free-kick with four minutes of the 90 remaining. And only three minutes later, Diaz\u2019s 20-yard curler deflected into the far corner off Eder Militao.<\/p>\n
There was still time for Olise to add a brilliant, bending fourth for Bayern in stoppage time, and after the full-time whistle went, Guler became the second Madrid player to see red following his angry protests towards the officials.<\/p>\n
Data Debrief: Bayern survive topsy-turvy tie<\/strong><\/p>\nBayern felt they should have been home and dry after a complete performance at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu last week, but they were put through the wringer here.<\/p>\n
Guler\u2019s first goal was the earliest in Madrid\u2019s storied Champions League history, beating Gareth Bale\u2019s 57-second effort against Legia Warsaw in November 2016. It was also the earliest Bayern have ever conceded in the competition, beating Barcelona\u2019s Raphinha goal after 55 seconds in October 2024.<\/p>\n
That was a sign of things to come in an astonishing game. Bayern conceded three goals in the first half of a Champions League knockout match for the first time since April 2014, also against Real Madrid (two from Sergio Ramos and one from Cristiano Ronaldo).<\/p>\n
Among the first-half goalfest, Kane became the first player from one of Europe\u2019s top five leagues to score 50 goals in a season since Erling Haaland in 2022-23 (52), and Mbappe became the first player to ever score 10 away goals in a European Cup or Champions League campaign.<\/p>\n
But with extra time looming, Camavinga\u2019s red card proved the turning point, with Bayern reaching their 22nd European Cup or Champions League semi-final \u2013 only Madrid (33) have reached more.<\/p>\n
Los Blancos have now lost both legs of their quarter-final ties in each of the last two seasons (also versus Arsenal in 2024-25), having only done so once prior to the last campaign (against Inter in 1966-67).<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
