Real Madrid won a nail-biting Champions League semifinal game against Bayern Munich on Wednesday night.
The final score was 2-1, putting Real Madrid in the championship game for the 18th time, a record!
Their coach, Carlo Ancelotti, was super proud of his players. He said they played great, controlled the game a lot, and got some unexpected magic from the crowd at their home stadium, the Santiago Bernabeu. He also called his team the best he’s ever coached!
The first half was a bit slow. Neither team wanted to make big mistakes. Bayern Munich almost scored first, but their shot went just wide. Real Madrid had a chance too, but the Bayern Munich goalie made a key save.
The second half got exciting! Real Madrid pushed hard to score, but the Bayern Munich goalie kept stopping them. Then, Bayern Munich scored a goal! It looked like they might win.
But then, things got crazy! Real Madrid’s goalie made a mistake, letting the other team tie the game with just a few minutes left. And then, in an amazing turn of events, Real Madrid scored AGAIN just two minutes later, winning the entire game 2-1! Even though it looked like they were offside at first, the goal counted!
So, Real Madrid is moving on to the Champions League final in June! They’ll be facing Borussia Dortmund, and it’s sure to be another exciting match. This semifinal game will be remembered for its dramatic ending and Real Madrid’s never-give-up attitude!
