Tuesday’s heavyweight clash between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid definitely didn’t disappoint.
Both teams had to fight from behind and the spoils were ultimately shared in a 2-2 draw which leaves everything to play for in next week’s second leg.
The game got off to a tough start for Madrid as they were penned back, but a moment of pure magic from Toni Kroos sent Vinicius Junior through on goal to open the scoring.
Remember when Bayern didn’t want to resign Kroos because they thought he wasn’t world class??🤣🤣 #BayernRealMadrid

Toni Kroos, wow!
With passing like that and a rapid Vinicius, nothing is stopping that duo.

That goal changed the tone of the game as Madrid sat back at comfortably frustrated their hosts until the half-time whistle.
Understandably, there were a few worried Bayern fans out there.
Champions league is literally about individual moments. Madrid weren’t doing anything until that kroos pass ✨

I’m nowhere near Tuchel’s biggest fan but before Reals goal: 6 shots, 2 on target, 0 goals. That’s not on him

Thomas Tuchel responded by switching his wingers, sending Leroy Sane out to the right and bringing Jamal Musiala to the left, and it proved to be an inspired change.
First, Sane crashed Bayern level with one of the most ferocious strikes you’re ever likely to see.
Sane just pulled a Messi from literally nowhere. Generated unbelievable power from a short space 🤯🔥

Then it was Musiala’s turn to shine.
The Wunderkind went down in the penalty area after being tripped by Lucas Vazquez, allowing Harry Kane to step up and slot Bayern into the lead.
KANE FOR BALLON DOR

Why did kane wait so long to leave spurs he could’ve made himself one of the best strikers…
