FC Bayern München produced a stunning late turnaround to defeat Real Madrid CF 4–3 in a classic UEFA Champions League quarter-final first leg on matchday 2, setting up a finely poised return clash after a night of relentless drama in Munich.
Real Madrid struck almost immediately, with Arda Güler opening the scoring in the 1st minute. Bayern responded quickly as Aleksandar Pavlović levelled in the 6th minute, finishing after a pass from Joshua Kimmich.
Güler restored Madrid’s advantage in the 29th minute with his second of the night, only for Harry Kane to drag Bayern back again nine minutes later, making it 2–2 in the 38th minute from a move initiated by Dayot Upamecano. Kylian Mbappé then edged the visitors in front once more on 42 minutes, converting after being set up by Vinícius Júnior to send Real into half-time 3–2 ahead.
The second half was equally intense but less prolific in front of goal until the closing stages. Bayern manager Vincent Kompany, who was booked in the 44th minute, introduced Alphonso Davies at half-time and later Jamal Musiala on the hour mark, while Real Madrid responded with Eduardo Camavinga shortly after.
Madrid’s control began to slip when Camavinga collected two bookings, first in the 78th minute and then again in the 86th, resulting in a yellow-red dismissal that left the visitors down to ten men.
Bayern capitalised ruthlessly. Luis Díaz struck an 89th-minute equaliser after being found by Musiala, making it 3–3 and igniting the Allianz Arena. Moments later, deep into stoppage time (90+4), Michael Olise completed the comeback, scoring the winner from a move involving Kane to seal a 4–3 victory.

The narrow win gives Bayern a slender advantage ahead of the second leg, while Real Madrid’s three away goals and long spells of attacking quality ensure the tie remains finely balanced. Full match details are available at Ballaxy, with further competition coverage on the UEFA Champions League hub.
