Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich 2-1 (4-3): Champions League – as it happened

That’s it from our live coverage of the Champions League semifinals.

Real Madrid beat Bayern Munich 4-3 on aggregate with two late Joselu goals turning the game after Alphonso Davies’s opener at the Bernabeu.

Borussia Dortmund await the Spaniards in the final after they beat Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday.

We’ll be back for more live coverage on Friday with the final Paris 2024 Olympic football place up for grabs. It’s Indonesia against Guinea, and you can catch the game, along with all our sports news and features, here.

Kickoff is at 13:00 GMT.

For now, though – from me, Kevin Hand – it’s goodbye

“To raise the flag in a decision like this in a last minute, then for the referee to blow the whistle when we win the ball and then get the shot away, is a very, very bad decision,” Tuchel told TNT Sports when speaking about the incident in the 14th minute of injury time.

“It’s against the rules. The linesman has apologised.

“We were almost through and almost there, and a very unusual mistake from our very best player [Neuer] for the equaliser. They score again, then we score one – but a disastrous decision by the officials.

“We gave everything, and we did it together. Then to concede a goal we will never concede again with our goalkeeper is unbelievable. We left everything on the pitch, and that is a good thing. This is sport in the end.”

“We played well. We had the opportunities and good control of the game. We had the strength to come back when they scored,” he told TNT Sports.

“We did it again here. With our supporters, we can do something that’s unexpected.

“Joselu did a fantastic job. He’s a fantastic striker. We put in a lot of crosses, and we had a lot of energy at the end of the game.

“I’m really grateful to them. They are really humble and really generous. I think it’s the best squad of my career.

“Now, until the final, we have fantastic days to celebrate the league with the fans.”

On Thursday, we’ll bring you the final playoff for a place at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

Indonesia and Guinea will face each other in Paris with the winner taking the last place for the U23 tournament.

We’ll have all the build-up and text commentary of the 13:00 GMT kickoff.

Japan, Uzbekistan and Iraq have already secured a place in the Olympics with their medal finishes at the AFC U23 Asian Cup.

“I was looking around in the dressing room and couldn’t believe it. There’s nowhere I’d rather be,” Bellingham continued on TNT Sports.

“The players and fans feel like family. We know the expectations when you sign on the dotted line here.”

“We’ve seen it a lot of times this season where it looks like we are dead and buried, but we’ve seen it many times with our never-say-die attitude,” Bellingham told TNT Sports.

“There’s a reason why we manage to come back here, and it’s because of them [the fans].

“I love being here because you can never be settled. They don’t give you the chance, and that’s the best thing in football.

“At Wembley against Dortmund. I can’t believe it. I’m so looking forward to it.”

The Germans were seconds away from the final, but by the end of injury time, they were out.

Just like in Barcelona in 1999, when Manchester United came from 1-0 down in stoppage time to win it in normal time, Bayern snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

Total heartbreak at the last for Munich.

Real Madrid are on to the final of the Champions League. Bayern can’t create another chance, and it’s all over.

Tuchel could be sent off here.

The offside flag goes up as Bayern play the ball into the box. The Germans believe the play should have continued through to the end, and then the flag should have been raised.

The ball ended up in the net but the whistle had blown before the ball was turned in.

They’re on the attack. This has to be it.

90+13 minutes: Real Madrid 2-1 Bayern Munich (4-3)

The ball soars from one half into the hands of the keeper.

Was that the final chance?

They haven’t created anything since the Real goal.

Here’s a late free kick on the halfway line.

Militao comes on to replace the midfielder, who was down on his knees a moment ago.

The Germans can’t build an attack. Can they find one moment, at least?

Their manager is booked for dissent as his side aren’t awarded a free kick he believed they should have been.

90+7 minutes: Real Madrid 2-1 Bayern Munich (4-3)

Bayern have taken off Kane, but what do they have left in the tank?

A Real player is down with a cramp. The Spaniards will slow this down as best as they possibly can now.

90+4 minutes: Real Madrid 2-1 Bayern Munich (4-3)

Madrid have surely won it. Joselu was onside when the ball was squared from the left to tap home.

We’ve already entered nine minutes of stoppage time.
