He Bayern-Real Madrid of the semi-finals of Champions It is the highlight of this final stretch of the season. It has been 12 years since Real Madrid’s famous elimination at the hands of Bayern Munich in the Champions League. That penalty shootout was fateful for the whites where Ramos missed the decisive one. “What happened next?” the German team asked themselves through their X account (formerly Twitter) along with an image of Cristiano Ronaldo.
“In case you weren’t sure,” the German team added in a subsequent message, attaching a short video clip of the moment in which Manuel Neuer stops the Portuguese’s shot. Mourinho recently recalled in an interview that he was devastated that night and Mendes asked him to go to Cristiano Ronaldo’s house.
The Munich team lost that final on penalties against Chelsea and the white team won the top continental competition in 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2022. But now what counts is the event on May 8 at the Allianz Arena.
It will be the twenty-seventh time that the Bavarians and Madrid fans face each other. The statistics give oxygen to the whites: they have beaten the Germans up to 12 times, for the 11 in which they have been defeated.
The tweet exceeded 3.6 million views and was a viral trend in Germany. For their part, many Madrid fans remembered the Champions League that the white team has. After eliminating Guardiola’s City, Madrid is the big favorite.
Ancelotti is managing to hit the right note. The Italian returned to the Bernabéu through the front door with a spectacular double (Champions and League), then the Copa del Rey arrived and now the domestic competition is already in his pocket and they are waiting for the Champions League semi-finals.
