FC Bayern failed in the quarter -finals of the Champions League on Inter Milan. After the 1-2 defeat from the first leg, the Munich residents initially equalized through Harry Kane in the 52nd minute before two corners brought the series a club back to the front. First, Lautaro Martínez (58th) and then the ex-Bayer Benjamin Pavard (61st), the second Bayern goal of Eric Dier (76.) came too late.
The repetition of 2012 with a final Dahoam in the Allianz Arena has been dreamed of. Inter, on the other hand, meets FC Barcelona in the semifinals and can move into the final again after 2022/23.
In the 163rd and last royal class of Thomas Müller in the Bavaria jersey, the Bundesliga table leader of the Punch was lacking to increase at least an extension. According to the International KO, the team of coach Vincent Kompany, who is running until the final whistle, now remains the chance to return to Munich’s return to Munich.
It got really loud in the legendary San Siro before the kick-off when the Bayern line-up was announced. The Tifosi acknowledged them with whistles – and reached the highest decibel value by the name Müller. You could hardly pay more respect for the Bayern icon. The 35-year-old was ordered by coach Kompany in the starting eleven, identical to the 2-2 against Dortmund on Saturday. For Müller, it was the 163rd mission in the premier class, with which he equated with world star Lionel Messi. With 183 games, Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the first place in Spain’s ex-national goalkeeper Iker Casillas (177).
At the site of the 2001 Champions League triumph, sports director Max Eberl did not only see Müller in order to turn the 1-2 out of the first leg and create the “little miracle” demanded by Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. “Miracles, whatever – we have to bring a perfect performance on the square,” said the 51 -year -old. You have time to score the gate.
Michael Olise didn’t want to take this. Already in the third minute, the strong Frenchman came to a conclusion in the penalty area – but his Schlenzer was blocked by ex -Bavaria Benjamin Pavard. Bavaria pressed up, which Inter had problems. However, Yann Sommer confidently held the end of Müller (6th) from the rotation. The same was for Bayern keeper Jonas Urbig (9th) at the first inter-final degree by Federico Dimarco, the only starting eleven in comparison to the first leg.
Inter initially had to struggle with the flexibility of Bayern and after eleven minutes there was the first big Müller moment. The captain conquered the ball, served the Olise running into the penalty area with a precise chip pass – but the Frenchman took too long and was decisively disturbed Alessandro Bastoni.
However, Bayern, however, lost their activity a little, in the phase Inter came to the first great opportunity. Marcus Thuram (29th) missed a Dimarco free kick from the left side just a few meters in front of the goal. In the final phase of the first section, Bayern caught again, came to some deals, but they were not mandatory enough.
The inter-defense showed why three goals were only conceded in the eleven previous royal class games of the season. At least one foot was always in between.
Kane meets once, inter double
But then Kane came out of nowhere. The English international received the ball on the corner of the five -meter space, Dimarco looked – and pulled out dryly. Summer was without an opportunity and Kane posted his eleventh Champions League goal in the 13th game of this season. Four minutes later, Müller appeared freely on the second post, but gave the great chance of the second goal.
Inter struck. After a corner, the ball from Kimmich jumps unhappily to Martinez, who pulled off directly and scored as in the first leg. The same game just three minutes later. Corner Inter, Tor Inter. This time Pavard was on the spot – the Bavaria stood with their backs to the wall.
Shortly after a missed chance of Olise (75th), Dier gives Bayern hope with his first Champions League goal. The defender came to the header after a cross from Serge Gnabry on the second post and hit from an impossible angle. However, despite a miller chance in added time, it was no longer enough.
FC Arsenal switches off Real Madrid: victory also in the second leg
Real Madrid missed the miracle against FC Arsenal and has to tick off the dream of the next Champions League title. The royal team lost the quarter-final secondary with 1: 2 (0-0) and, after the 0: 3 defeat from the first leg, lost the comparison with the English. Bukayo Saka (65th minute) and Gabriel Martinelli (90.+3) met for the guests, Vinícius Junior (67th) was able to compensate for Real. In the semi-finals, Arsenal now meets Paris Saint-Germain.
