Atletico Madrid reached the final of the UEFA Champions League by seeing off Bayern Munich in an action-packed second semi-final leg on Tuesday night at the Allianz Arena. The Spaniards lost, 2-1, but progressed via their away goal following a 2-2 aggregate score.
Spanish midfielder Xabi Alonso broke the deadlock with a free-kick for the hosts, who overwhelmingly controlled possession in the opening stages.
Bayern spurned a number of chances to further their lead—including a missed penalty by Thomas Muller—as Atleti appeared well off the pace, and it proved costly as Antoine Griezmann scored a stunning away goal in the second half. Robert Lewandowski made it 2-1 late in the match, but it was too little, too late for the home side.
