Still no winner written between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid after the first 90 minutes of the Champions League semi-final, played at the Allianz Arena. A good match, which inaugurated the penultimate act of the top European competition and which saw the high value of the protagonists on the pitch confirmed. In the end, after a match full of overtaking and comebacks, with two penalties determining the last two goals of the match, the result that emerges is a 2-2 which still leaves everything open.
Carletto Ancelotti admitted in the post-match that it wasn’t a Real Madrid that was 100% of its potential: “In the end we had more energy, they had run a lot and we are halfway satisfied with the result. Bayern played at the best level, we didn’t. In the first half we were too passive in defending, then the paradox is that when we started to play well and they scored us two goals. The draw is good but qualification is open.”
At Bayern, however, great disappointment for having made a comeback right at the end and thus having seen the potential advantage to take with them into the return match vanish. Kim Min Jae at the center of the controversy (pictured), author of two decisive errors (he got a puncture in the first goal, then caused the penalty for the 2-2) which sparked anger on social media.
