Few chances in these extensions

Four minutes of added time

Kylian Mbappé takes his chance from afar.

The ball goes wide. Manuel Neuer had not moved.

Musiala misses the break goal

And who was in charge? The inevitable Olise.

Hazardous exit from Neuer

Manuel Neuer does his special thing by coming out very high to intercept a ball. It almost went badly.

The Neuer dam held

Pounded by Vinicius served by Mbappé, the German intervenes once again.

Real Madrid puts pressure on

The Madrilenians were invigorated by Mbappé's goal. Free kicks and corners follow one another on the Bavarian goal.

A goal that woke up the Bernabeu

The Spanish stadium has found its voice with Mbappé leading the way.

Aim !

Kylian Mbappé brings hope back to Madrid. He finally deceives Manuel Neuer.

Mbappé sounds revolt

The French superstar has just had two big chances in quick succession. His cross shot hits Neuer. Then, shifted to the left, he tries to wrap around a tight angle without finding the target.

Olise tortures Carreras

Michael Olise makes Carreras his thing on the right side.

Vinicius misses his duel

Upamecano completely misses his control and his back pass. Vinicius takes advantage of this and presents himself against Neuer. The German goalkeeper plays it by experience and pushes Vinicius to make a mistake.

Real Madrid can't do it

Harry Kane has just recovered a new ball less than 25 meters from the goal.

And when he doesn't pass, he shoots

His attempt is blocked by Lunin.

Olise, one of Bayern Munich's men of the season

Parisian supporters are bitter against Mbappé

The most frequently played poster on the European scene with 28 confrontations between the two teams, the clash between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich has taken on crucial importance for the Madrilenians since this weekend. Beaten in Mallorca (2-1) in La Liga despite the return of Kylian Mbappé as starter after his left knee injury, the Merengue seriously handicapped their title chances, seven points behind Barça.

Alvaro Arbeloa is therefore under pressure again for the reception of a sparkling Bayern this season.

Well ahead of the Bundesliga, Vincent Kompany's men swept away Atalanta in the 8th round (10-2 in aggregate score). Only question: the presence or not of Harry Kane. Injured in the ankle during the selection, the English striker did not play this weekend, but trained well on Monday.

“We have played Real Madrid so often since I joined Bayern, and we have been eliminated every time, without being the worst team. It is time for that to change,” said the experienced Joshua Kimmich before this final test for German ambitions.

Returning from his left knee injury after several weeks of absence, French superstar Kylian Mbappé could – once again – have to play the savior to keep his team and its hopes of finally winning a first C1 alive.

“Mbappé came to Real Madrid to play matches like tomorrow,” said his coach Alvaro Arbeloa about the French striker, who was widely criticized before this crucial clash. “I am convinced that we will see him at his best and that he will carry the team as he has always known how to do.”
