Vinicius Junior shows his appreciation for Toni Kroos.
Bayern Munich drew 2-2 with Real Madrid in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) quarterfinal first leg of the 2023-24 season at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, at 4 a.m. ET.
Real Madrid had the first laugh. In the 24th minute, Kroos slipped a pass into the back of the defense and Vinicius quickly got in behind Kim Min-jae. He was one-on-one with the goalkeeper and calmly finished. The first half ended with Munich trailing 0-1.
Munich equalized the game. Eight minutes into the second half, Leroy Sané dribbled into the penalty box from the right flank off a pass from Konrad Reimer. Sané got in front of the defense and fired a powerful left-footed shot. Goalkeeper Andriy Lunin reacted but was unable to stop Sané’s shot.
Munich had the decisive chance. Ten minutes into the second half, Jamal Musalla was tripped by Lucas Vazquez inside the penalty box. The referee immediately pointed to the spot. Harry Kane stepped up to take the spot kick and perfectly fooled Lunin, slotting the ball into the left side of the net.
Kim Min-jae was the culprit once again. In the 37th minute of the second half, Kim committed a foul in the penalty box while blocking Hodriguez and the referee awarded a penalty kick. Vinicius stepped up to the spot and fooled goalkeeper Manuel Neuer with a right-footed shot that rattled the net, leaving the game tied at 2-2.
Vinicius and Cross fooled Minjae Kim perfectly. Kroos collected the ball near the halfway line and the Munich players sat back without pressing. At this point, Vinicius broke away, and Kim Min-jae anticipated the pass and 메이저토토사이트 quickly followed him, but instead of passing, he took a few touches and signaled to Vinicius.
Vinicius ran into the space behind Kim, and Cross played an exquisite through ball through the Munich defense. Vinicius finished with ease. After the goal, Vinicius approached Kroos and raised his hands in a 90-degree angle as if to bow.
