- Camavinga sent off before Bayern’s late double
- Olise scores with the last kick as Bayern edge it 6-4 on aggregate
- Bayern book PSG semi; Guler also sent off after full-time
Bayern Munich 4-3 Real Madrid (6-4 agg.) — what a night at the Allianz Arena. This quarter-final had a bit of everything: early goals, late drama and a red card that flipped the tie on its head. With the contest finely poised deep into the second half, Eduardo Camavinga was shown a second yellow for delaying a Bayern free-kick, and the momentum swung violently Bavaria’s way.
Momentum Turns On A Red Card
Within minutes of the dismissal, Bayern struck twice. Diaz pounced to push the hosts in front on aggregate, and then Michael Olise stepped up with the last kick of the game, cutting inside and thundering home off the woodwork to settle an instant classic. Real’s protests at the whistle were loud and lingering, with tempers fraying and the substituted Arda Guler also seeing red for dissent after full-time.
It was chaos from the first whistle. Guler had earlier produced a blistering brace — the first inside a minute — either side of an Aleksandar Pavlovic header from a corner, before Harry Kane restored Bayern’s advantage and the first half finished breathless. By the time the stakes rose in the final quarter, you could feel the tension crackle with every challenge.

Big-Game Players Decide It
Under the cosh and a man up, Bayern were ruthless — exactly what you expect from a side with this pedigree. The key wasn’t just the goals, but the control: clever game management, quick restarts, and a willingness to run beyond Real’s tiring back line. Madrid, for their part, will lament the indiscipline that invited pressure at the worst possible time. You can’t hand an elite side a lifeline and expect not to pay for it.
The bottom line? Bayern are through to face PSG in the semi-finals, and they’ve done it the hard way. Nights like this don’t just send a message — they tattoo it on the competition. If they bottle this intensity, the reigning champions have a serious fight on their hands.
