FC Bayern reached the semi-finals of the Champions League with a 1-0 (0-0) win in the second leg against Arsenal FC. Joshua Kimmich (63rd minute) headed the German record champions one round further against weak Londoners.
Bayern acted very defensively and cautiously in the first half, but were extremely compact and focused. After the break, the “Reds” increased the number of hits and, thanks to the strong-willed Kimmich, used a punch against the English who were passive for long stretches. Borussia Dortmund had already moved into the semis (against Paris Saint-Germain) on Tuesday evening. Thomas Tuchel's team will now face Real Madrid (April 30th/May 8th) after the Madrilenians prevailed 5-4 (1-1) on penalties in the exciting second leg at Manchester City. The quarter-final second leg can be read in the ticker. The Champions League final will take place at Wembley on June 1st. Manchester City equalized 1-1 against Real Madrid through De Bruyne. This would mean that this duel would go into extra time, while Munich would, as of now, move straight into the semi-finals. Kimmich comes rushing in from the second row with a lot of steam and heaves the ball into the net against Raya's run. The arena is shaking! The national player had too much reserve when he finished. Arsenal play cautiously to ensure that the English are behind. But be careful of Gabriel Jesus, the Brazilian is a real snapper. Bayern want to keep the narrow lead over time. They slowly get the time from the clock. Bayern wants to follow up straight away. But Sané hits the ball from the backcourt into the upper tier. Arsenal want to play cautiously. They just don't get decisively in front of the goal. It's Bayern's turn. The stadium is shaking. There is applause for this. It is Munich's tour for the people of Munich!
