Vinicius shines from the spot to keep Real Madrid in the tie at the Allianz Arena! Classic second leg beckons at the Bernabeu!
Vinicius Junior was the star of the show at the Allianz Arena as he scored a late penalty to earn Real Madrid a 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich. The second leg at the Santiago Bernabéu promises to be a classic encounter.
Vinicius was a constant threat on the Real Madrid attack, causing Bayern Munich’s defence all sorts of problems with his pace and trickery. He was the man fouled by Urschel in the box to win the crucial penalty for the visitors.
Bayern Munich had taken an early two-goal lead through strikes from Lewandowski and Muller. However, Vinicius’s goal from the spot has given Real Madrid hope of overturning the deficit in the Bernabéu.
The 2-2 draw means that both teams are still in the tie. However, the advantage of playing at the Bernabéu in the second leg will be with Real Madrid, and that promises to make for an exciting and tense encounter.
The Madridistas will be eagerly anticipating their team’s performance on home turf, where they have a fantastic record in the Champions League. There is no doubt that the second leg between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich will be one of the most eagerly anticipated matches of the quarter-finals.
