It has been a long time since fans of the Bernabeu team have seen Benzema score in an important match. Not just 1, but 2 goals.
"The shaky" in a day, both good and lucky, scored a double from the right corner of goalkeeper Ulreich's goal. The goal in the 11th minute was the crystallization after a perfect combination. Another was Marcelo with a magical left foot, the ball seemed to be on Benzema's head. And from the undeniable angle, the French striker successfully headed the ball.
The second goal was perhaps the most memorable of the career of the "hurt replacement" Ulrich. A simple pass from Tolisso, Ulreich rushed out to pick up the ball but fell with the act of the artistry figurehead actor. The ball passed through the crossbar, in front of an empty goal, and Benzema cushioned the ball into the net.
Those were moments that were left in Real's numbers. In the match, whether from one side or not, Bayern Munich also had 2 times to put the ball in Navas's net, but that was not enough.
During a day without Robben, the left wing was forced to take main responsibility for attack with the duo Alaba - ribery operating at full capacity. However, the one who opened the scoring, like in the first leg, was Kimmich. The visitors' "number 32" had a strong cushion with his right foot from the same angle as the first leg in the 11th minute.
James Rodriguez's return to the Bernabeu took place with a scenario that would only be suitable for the midfielder personally. 2 consecutive shots against Navas in the 63rd minute, the ball into the net and James did not celebrate. The Colombian midfielder had an active day and left his mark. At some point, he also made Zidane feel sorry for discussing his departure in the context of Bale not meeting too many expectations.
However, the match that captivated every moment was not just about 4 times the electronic board changed the number. Bayern Munich controlled the ball 60%, launched 17 shots, and had 11 corner kicks. Meanwhile, Real only had 8 shots and 6 corners. The numbers don't lie and it shows how determined Bayern are.
Real defeated Bayern with a total score of 4-3 after 2 matches and reached the Champions League final for the third consecutive time. For Zidane personally, the French coach has the opportunity to set an absolute record: 3 years leading Real, reaching the final 3 times and winning all 3. Meanwhile, after 3 consecutive lackluster matches, Ronaldo needs to shine in the final match to aim for the Golden Ball.
