The tie exploded into life early, with Arda Güler striking twice inside the opening half hour to give Madrid early control. Kylian Mbappé added another before the break, completing a stunning first-half display from the visitors.

The red card shifted momentum instantly, and Bayern took full advantage. Díaz produced a moment of brilliance late on, finishing a slick attacking move to swing the tie in Bayern’s favour. Moments later, Olise put the result beyond doubt with a stunning curling effort off the post in stoppage time.
It was a fitting end to a performance where Olise consistently threatened and ultimately got the goal his display deserved.

Under Vincent Kompany, Bayern showed resilience and attacking quality when it mattered most. Despite Madrid’s early dominance, the Bundesliga giants controlled key phases of the second half, patiently probing before striking decisively in the closing minutes.
Madrid fall short again

The red card and defensive lapses ultimately proved costly. There were also heated scenes at full time, with players protesting the officiating, capping off a frustrating night for the Spanish side.
What's next
Bayern Munich now advance to face Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals, setting up another heavyweight European clash. With momentum and belief on their side, Kompany’s team will feel they have what it takes to go even further.
A six-goal thriller, a red card, and late-game brilliance, this was Champions League football at its finest. And when it mattered most, Luis Díaz and Michael Olise stepped up to send Bayern through.
