After a thrilling first leg in Munich, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid lock horns again in Madrid on Wednesday. The Bavarian club couldn’t get an advantage in the tie during the first leg as Vinicius Jr. converted a penalty in the second half to make sure the game ended at 2-2. Die Roten dominated the game, but the Spanish club stepped up at crucial junctures in 90 minutes to score goals.  

With all to play in the second leg on Wednesday, Real Madrid will be favourites to book a place in the Champions League final.
