Two smart coaches, a high tempo and goals at the most unlikely times: FC Bayern and Real Madrid delivered a brilliant Champions League evening – due to an unnecessary action in the final phase, the Munich team only managed a 2-2 draw.
It’s a pretty neat gimmick that the builders of the Fröttmaning Arena embedded in the ground around 20 years ago: Whenever the half-time or final whistle sounds, the grass on the edge of the field magically rises and creates the stairs to the catacombs free. Basically it’s pretty quick. But Thomas Tuchel couldn’t go fast enough after the first 45 minutes of this Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid. Football can be so incredibly unfair!
