FC Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund: Live Updates and Match Analysis

Bayern's Champions League hopes dashed in dramatic fashion

Real Madrid stun Bayern with late goals to reach final

FC Bayern Munich's hopes of reaching the Champions League final were shattered as Real Madrid overcame a 2-1 first-leg deficit with a thrilling 2-1 win in extra time on Wednesday night.

Despite dominating the match and creating numerous chances, Bayern failed to find the crucial goal that would have sent them to the final. Instead, it was Karim Benzema who struck in the 90th and 120th minutes to break Bayern's hearts.

Bayern had taken the lead through Robert Lewandowski in the 52nd minute, but Vinicius Junior's equalizer in the 82nd minute forced the match into extra time. As the match wore on, Bayern seemed to run out of ideas, and Real Madrid took full advantage of their opponents' fatigue.

The defeat marks a disappointing end to Bayern's Champions League campaign. Despite being one of the favorites to win the competition, they have been knocked out in the semifinals for the second consecutive year.

Bayern will now turn their attention to the Bundesliga, where they are currently six points clear at the top of the table. They will need to quickly regroup and focus on winning their 10th consecutive league title.
