Analysis from Thierry Henry, the former Arsenal forward, shines light on why Real Madrid emerged victorious against Bayern Munich in the decisive second leg of their Champions League semi-final clash.
Henry raised doubts about the strategic choice made by Bayern’s manager, Thomas Tuchel, specifically the decision to substitute Harry Kane during such a crucial match.
In a remarkable turn of events, Real Madrid overturned a deficit to triumph over Bayern Munich with a 2-1 victory, securing a 4-3 aggregate win following a 2-2 draw in the first leg held in Germany.
Highlighting the intensity of the situation, Henry emphasized, “Taking Kane out in a match like this, where you are up against Real Madrid, not some ordinary team, is questionable. This is a team like Real Madrid, and they excel at this level. It’s not about luck; it’s the reality of facing Real Madrid.”
Despite Bayern Munich’s impressive display, seizing the lead through a splendid goal by Alphonso Davies in the 68th minute, Los Blancos managed to stage a late comeback, with Joselu securing a dramatic progression for the hosts.
