The first leg of the quarter finals is a draw. The second leg became the final decider of the semi-finals. Joshua Kimmich of Bayern Munich showed magic. With his only goal, Bayern beat English giants Arsenal 1-0 and won 3-2 over two legs to reach the last four of the Champions League. The first leg was a 2-2 draw.
Both teams played cautiously from the start of the match at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday (April 16). At the same time the opportunity was waiting. Jamal Musiala suddenly attacked in the 24th minute of the match. However, his long-range shot was blocked by Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya.
In the 29th minute, Martin Odegaard’s shot deflected off someone’s leg and bounced around the far post with a little extra bounce and into the net. However, Manuel Noir changed the direction. In the 31st minute, Odegaard’s pass gave Gabriel Martinelli a great chance but missed the chance with a shot past Neuer.
The first half ended in a goalless draw due to the practice of this goal miss by both teams and the heroism of the goalkeeper. Bayern were going to score at the beginning of the second half. However, in the 47th minute, Leon Goretzka’s header hit the crossbar. Rafael Guerreiro also failed to return.
Kimmich broke the deadlock in the 64th minute in this exercise of goal misses. Raya tries to deflect Leroy Sane’s overhead shot with his hands. But could not do well. Guerreiro crossed after running and taking possession of the ball. The opportunistic Kimmich found the net with a header at great speed.
In the 87th minute, Odegaard’s excellent shot at the near post deflected off Neuer’s hand. However, the referee did not give a corner! In the rest of the period, Arsenal could not create any chance of scoring. As a result, the Premier League team had to leave the field with a loss.
Real Madrid, the most successful team in Europe, is the opponent of Bayern in the fight to reach the final. Carlo Ancelotti’s side won the quarter-final second leg against Manchester City 4-3 in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw in regulation and extra time.
