It was a valiant effort from Real Madrid, but in the end, they fell 4–3 to Bayern Munich in the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals on Wednesday night, ending their pursuit of a 16th European title.
Los Blancos came in to the match at the Allianz Arena down 2–1 after a chaotic first leg in the Spanish capital. They got off to a dream start after Manuel Neuer gifted Arda Güler the game’s opener inside of 60 seconds, but what followed was a dizzying first half.
