UEFA Champions League played the second leg of the semi-finals on Tuesday, where the first finalist was determined. At the Allianz Arena, Munich's Bayern and Barcelona players clashed once again. Josep Guardiola's players achieved victory at home, but Barcelona advanced to the next stage with an overall result of 5-3. The match started actively - both teams played fast football and created attack after attack. The first team to score was Bayern's players, who needed to score at least three goals. In the 7th minute, a corner kick led to Mehdi Benatia scoring for the hosts. However, the Moroccan's goal, reviving hopes, was equalized in the 15th minute when Neymar scored after a perfect pass from Luis Suarez. Less than 15 minutes later, Neymar once again defeated Manuel Neuer and shattered Bayern's hopes of reaching the final. In the second half, the Bavarians continued to press their opponents. Guardiola, on the sidelines, tried to motivate his team to fight for a victory. In the 59th minute, Robert Lewandowski finally broke through Marc-Andre Ter Stegen's defense, and in the 74th minute, Thomas Muller scored a goal, leading Bayern to victory, but not enough to overcome the Catalans. Barcelona reached the final of the Champions League after a four-year break. The last time they reached this stage was in 2011 when they won against Manchester United in the final. Result: Bayern 3 - 2 Barcelona (First leg: 0-3, final result: 3-5) 7' [1 - 0] M.Benatia 15' [1 - 1] Neymar 29' [1 - 2] Neymar 59' [2 - 2] R.Lewandowski 74' [3 - 2] T.Muller
