The first half saw both teams creating good chances but ending goalless. Vini Jr. hit the post early on, while Lunin made a diving stop to deny Kane. Neuer also made a crucial save to keep out Rodrygo’s follow-up.
The second half continued at a steady pace, with Vini Jr. and Rodrygo posing threats. However, it was Davies who found the back of the net first for Bayern. Real Madrid thought they had equalized through Valverde, but the goal was ruled out after a VAR review.

Real Madrid continued to push for an equalizer, and their efforts paid off in the 88th minute when Vini Jr.’s shot was spilled by Neuer, allowing Joselu to score. In stoppage time, Rüdiger’s header found Joselu again, who completed his brace and sealed the win for Real Madrid.
