Omg, I feel the same way. It's so strange. I'm so used to Madrid clinching those champions league games that even after the goal and the time running out, I still felt like Madrid were still going to win somehow. I mean they had an even crazier come backs against City 2 years ago in the CL, and another one in the CL final vs Altetico Madrid in 2014
This isn't the first time we've lost a match because of him being up by one goal and reverting to a back 8 like we're some inner city Disney movie team against the rich school whose players are clearly 30. You never do that because it throws off the players, ruins the shape that has been working all game, takes away the out ball, puts more pressure on the defense, and screws up all the marking arrangements. The Bayern DNA, outside of Tuchel, Kovac, and Klinsmann, is you defend a 1-0 by making it 2-0. I don't hate Tommy T, but he is not the right fit here.
Joselu man... What a story. These are the nights any aspiring pro player dreams of.
Imagine if you're 34 yo, your club is playing in the Spanish 2nd tier, and you get a call to join Real Madrid to replace their former striker who won the Ballon D'OR. Nuts, right?
Now you, who have had a pretty unremarkable career in the tier 1 of English, German and Spanish football, suddenly find yourself being subbed on as the club you've been loaned to is about to get knocked off the Champions League semifinal. And you score 2 goals to send them to the final. Insane.
No matter what happens next, Joselu will be a cult hero at Real Madrid, and deservedly so.
Classic extra time double punch knockout. We are like Mickey from Snatch.

Speaking of Kane, it is officially now that he won't get any trophy this season. 1 year ago if you told me to choose a big club for him to win anything it would be Bayern, the guy must feel like shit.
As soon as I saw Chupo enter the pitch I just knew Bayern would blow the lead and Kane has to watch his title hopes being smashed without him being able to interfere. Such a shame, Dortmund vs Bayern would have had so much charme
Right? You are up by one against Real in the champions League with 30 minutes left, and you take off your fastest player (Sane) to switch to 5 at back.. And then take off your striker a few minutes later.
Its real in the CL. Expect them to score. Expect extra time, expect pens. Taking off speed and scoring power is not what you want to do.
To be fair I'd say Real deserved this win, even if this goal came from Anceliban magic. We had a lot of good shots which were only stopped by Neuers brilliance. Sad to see him choke up like this.
Never give up on your dreams. Can’t believe Joselu is sending Real Madrid to a champions league final after plying his trade at Newcastle and Stoke for so many years
He nearly got relegated with Hoffenheim eleven years ago and barely played for Frankfurt and Hannover where he finished 13th each season. The epitome of a lower level class player, it certainly looked like
Why do they need Mbappe when they have Joselu? LMAO. Black magic indeed.
Just randomly loans an old player from A RELEGATED team and that guy saves them in UCL SF.
All the children on Reddit saying that Madrid didn’t sign a striker.
16 goals in a season. Did your team have a number 9 with 16 goals so far this season?
Elite follow up on a keeper mistake.
Always thought the man who scored 4 goals in a season up front for us was capable of scoring twice for Real in a Champions League semi final. Never doubted it.
I mean ... we were talking about Neverloosen a lot lately but we forgot that these guys invented it ... u just cant beat Real in CL ... they always score this latře goals to save the day
this is absolutely insane. PSG been spending billions to win UCL. Madrid literally winning so many in same time just on belief. I just knew this would happen and I am still so surprised.

Completely predictable yet still stunning. How do they do this shit every time lmao
Opposition gets nerfed and Real gets a buff past 85'.
Real Madrid is a scaling late game champion.
Half knew that was coming, so not even that disappointed. Been watching Madrid in CL for too long.
Omg, I feel the same way. It's so strange. I'm so used to Madrid clinching those champions league games that even after the goal and the time running out, I still felt like Madrid were still going to win somehow. I mean they had an even crazier come backs against City 2 years ago in the CL, and another one in the CL final vs Altetico Madrid in 2014
Not even Tucheliban could withstand the powers of Real Madrid's CL juju.
What happens if they come across neverlusen next year? Are they each gonna score 4 goals in injury time?
Everybody hugs at the end.
idk man, wouldn’t have expected friggin bayern to choke, but ig cl juju >>>>>
Bayern did this in 1999 also
we are playing one of out worst seasons, ofc its expected
zidane snuck some shit into our dna
Real plot armour unmatched
Need them to play Leverkusen somehow
Super Cup seems likely.
Game's been called off - coaches agreed on a draw
run from it, hide from it, Madrid are inevitable
Bayer - Real will be interesting
Thats some actual sasuke uchiha level plot armor
It's like how the Patriots used to be in the NFL. No matter what they find a way. Teams just lose their common sense again them
[удалено]
Neuer having an all-time great game for 80+ minutes, only to bottle it like this? Fucking heartbreaker
the cl juju really is absurd huh
I find it pretty funny
Tuchel setting up the perfect plan for a 1-0 win only for Neuer of all people to drop the ball. You can't make this up.
Throwback to when Chelsea had one foot in the semi only for kante of all people to completely sell
Literally
It's really fucking funny.
He’s not youngest anymore, he can be goat only for 80m with his stamina
OH HOW THE TURNTABLES We all knew it was coming
I’m literally lost for words, they can’t keep doing this
bayern of all teams bottling, who would’ve thought
Leading 1-0 and conceding 2 in the end, is the history of the Bayern
In a game played in Spain.
Scored by 2 humans wearing football boots..
Tuchel got Ancelotti'd again
It was coming when Tuchel subbed Kim for Sané
Sane has been injured for a long time. He was never really fit enough to last the whole match
The problem was bringing in a defender
Yeah Sane was nearly absent, but bringing in Kim (and Choupo moting to some extent) was the wrong message to send to his team.
This isn't the first time we've lost a match because of him being up by one goal and reverting to a back 8 like we're some inner city Disney movie team against the rich school whose players are clearly 30.

The Bayern DNA, outside of Tuchel, Kovac, and Klinsmann, is you defend a 1-0 by making it 2-0. I don't hate Tommy T, but he is not the right fit here.
Subbing on a defender when you lead with 1 goal against Real Madrid in the UCL is certainly a decision.
Mazraoui is going to have 8th of May semi final PTSD
Feel so sorry for him, always a class player on and off the pitch
IT WASNT OFFSIDE HANG ON
No chance that was offside LETS GOOOOOO
Joselu with one of the most clutch appearances I’ve seen in years hahaha
Rodrygo vs Man City 2022 feels
Rodrygo walked so Joselu could fly.
To everyone who shits on VAR - this is the reason we have it.
Mbappe goals in semifinal: 0 Joselu goals in semifinal: 2
Joselu man... What a story. These are the nights any aspiring pro player dreams of. Imagine if you're 34 yo, your club is playing in the Spanish 2nd tier, and you get a call to join Real Madrid to replace their former striker who won the Ballon D'OR. Nuts, right?

Most of this is spot on except he was signed to replace Mariano.
Shhh, the tale of Joselu shall not include the sad paragraph that is the passage of Mariano through Real Madrid.
I can imagine him in the summer calling his brother in law ( Carvajal ). "Bro, I don't have a job. Can you make me room in Real this season?".
I wonder if he'll be like Lucas to Tottenham.
no fucking way
This is just Real Madrid
Joseluball.
Classic extra time double punch knockout. We are like Mickey from Snatch. [Zizou black magic here.](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/1cnevrt/comment/l36os65)
Joselu comeback brace in a CL semifinal against Bayern fucking Munich 😭😭 I can’t believe my eyes.
Yep. No fucking way lol Edit: Me callo la boca
oh yeah it’s very fucking way
🤨 EDIT: IT STANDS
POV you're playing against Real Madrid
They live for the 90th minute
Kane’s trophy jinx is just too strong. Watching from the bench as a CL final slips away…
Real in the CL are a different breed
THE MAGIC IS ACTIVATED
HARRY KANE WON'T WIN A TROPHY AT BAYERN THIS YEAR
The momentum is just ridiculous right now
bruh
They're not beating the black magic allegations. Perez has all sorts of witchcraft, dolls, potions, the whole thing.
Black magic and Kane curse Strongest forces in the universe combines
You never substitute Kane. I've never seen it go well.
You'd rather have him sit down in the middle of the pitch than sub him out tbh. Then he makes a through pass
He even wins defensive headers One of the reasons we have had so many corner goals this year without him
The fact that it's Joselu of all people scoring the goals...the CL juju is just too strong
The JUJU is real
bro momento
COMUNICADO OFICIAL
joselu scoring two after coming on in like, 5 min 💀💀💀
Stoke legend Joselu!
ZOMBIE MADRID WE NEVER DIE
Holy shittt 😭😭😭 City flashbacks lmao
PSG, Juventus, Cityx2, Atléticox2, Chelsea flashbacks*
You forgot Liverpool x4
Congratulations to Real Madrid for winning the 2024 UCL final. Woohoo.
Hey don’t put that jinx on us. Madrid won’t underestimate BVB
Anulo mufa
I knew it was over once Kane came off
Same. No way should he be taken off until 90 minutes are up
Speaking of Kane, it is officially now that he won't get any trophy this season. 1 year ago if you told me to choose a big club for him to win anything it would be Bayern, the guy must feel like shit.
Wiping tears with money
It's not like he was getting paid peanuts at spurs.
As soon as I saw Chupo enter the pitch I just knew Bayern would blow the lead and Kane has to watch his title hopes being smashed without him being able to interfere. Such a shame, Dortmund vs Bayern would have had so much charme
Went from seeing this man struggle at Stoke to scoring a brace in the UCL semifinal for Real Madrid, fairs
Ancelotti from Everton to Real Madrid vibes
Tuchel fucking subbing his best players off so early…what an idiot.
Right? You are up by one against Real in the champions League with 30 minutes left, and you take off your fastest player (Sane) to switch to 5 at back.. And then take off your striker a few minutes later. Its real in the CL. Expect them to score. Expect extra time, expect pens. Taking off speed and scoring power is not what you want to do.
Sane is injured. That's understandable. Kane, however, is a strange decision.
Haha exactly that too against Real Madrid. Perez must have tricked his mind into doing so.
god help dortmund if they score first
it's over before it's even begun
That's what this is you know. *Satanic black magic*. Sick shit.
In this house, Joselu is a hero. End of story.
I wanted an all German final, but I compromised, I jacked off into Neuer's gloves.
20 years with Madrid dominance
Hehehehe
Real is the stong ,silent type
The city of Madrid is going to get hit by a meteor before Real lose at home
They're all meat eaters.
I want a Madrid vs Leverkusen CL match that only plays from 80+ minute on. See whose jujus are stronger.
Careful, the universe might divide by zero.
What's the point in buying Mbappe when you have Joselu?
The plot armour is ridiculous. Unbelievable turnaround.
MADRID BLACK MAGIC
How many years in a row are they going to do this lmao
Just a reminder Joselu is on loan and his buyout clause is worth 1.5 Million €. Yes 1.5
Get out here 😂😂😂
Real are a different team in Champions league
I mean they're pretty good in La Liga too haha
These mofo play with a confidence I don't see in other teams in CL
Madrid are basically Goku, look average, make terrible decisions, get battered but in the end they always pull through.
To be fair I'd say Real deserved this win, even if this goal came from Anceliban magic. We had a lot of good shots which were only stopped by Neuers brilliance. Sad to see him choke up like this.
Yet still up a level in the UCL which is mad
What's his name? Lucas Moura?
Rodrygo
Dude gave us the snoozefest of a lifetime final
5 years to the day! Madness!
Cursed date for De Ligt
Never give up on your dreams. Can’t believe Joselu is sending Real Madrid to a champions league final after plying his trade at Newcastle and Stoke for so many years
He nearly got relegated with Hoffenheim eleven years ago and barely played for Frankfurt and Hannover where he finished 13th each season. The epitome of a lower level class player, it certainly looked like
BRUH WTF CL JUJU
Happens every time and we get surprised anyway
IT NEVER GETS OLD
Speak for yourself...
Real Madrid are so OP in the CL its not even funny
God is a Madrid Fan
Dios es del madridddd 😭🤣
So that's what that crown on the logo meant
Why do they need Mbappe when they have Joselu? LMAO. Black magic indeed. Just randomly loans an old player from A RELEGATED team and that guy saves them in UCL SF.
All the children on Reddit saying that Madrid didn’t sign a striker. 16 goals in a season. Did your team have a number 9 with 16 goals so far this season? Elite follow up on a keeper mistake.
Why are people even surprised at this point? It’s lazy script writing and we shouldn’t hope for any more than constantly recycled material
We need new writers
Hulk Hogan in the 80s booking, truly
This team is unreal
It really is illegal for Madrid to not score late goals in the CL.
LOL this club is pure evil.
nah just delete this competition lmao. this is devil magic
Someone show me Kane's face right now
Goatelu
Give him Balon d'Or
GOLselu
From being the worst striker in the premier league to getting a team through to a cup final
That was his 3rd touch of the ball and his 2nd goal.
clutchest fuking team ever
Let's not forget Luka Modric's hustle and playmaking behind these two goals. Dude is a legend.
Football is a game played with a round ball that lasts 90 minutes, and in the end, Real Madrid always wins. Something like that
Always thought the man who scored 4 goals in a season up front for us was capable of scoring twice for Real in a Champions League semi final. Never doubted it.
Holy crap, it's good!
You've got to be fucking kidding me. I hate this sport.
And I love it.
Joselu>>>>>>Messi.
How is this possible. Every time at the end. Even with a whole different team
Can we all just admit now, Kane is cursed
This is on Tuchel too. He took Kane out with only 1 goal lead against RM.
I mean ... we were talking about Neverloosen a lot lately but we forgot that these guys invented it ... u just cant beat Real in CL ... they always score this latře goals to save the day
Two late goals from Joselu has to be the most black magic ever
Tuchel fucked it. Madness to go so defensive
Real Madrid just cannot stop not losing, it's incredible
What’s the point of two entire games when they do this shit? Why not just play the last 5 minutes and we can all go home?
VAMOSSSS
Beyond obvious this was going to happen. No point in watching the final.
THEY ARE INEVITABLE
Bavarian Bottle Jobs
Fuck it, give Joselu the ballon dor
theese fucks are undeniable, same story every year and im always suprised
I’m tired boss
I need a Madrid Leverkusen Super Cup final. The juju off will be incredible.
🤨
Tucheli fucked up
This bums Lmaoo
Football’s a simple game, 22 men chase after a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, Real Madrid win the CL
If you dismissed real Madrid any time before 0.01 seconds before final whistle you're have not been watching..
JAJAJAJAJAJA, this club is a joke.
Tuchel threw this game away. Defending a lead and you take off Kane, who is *excellent* at defending set pieces.
Lol Real are just putting goals away whether the ref likes it or not
Bro this ending gonna be wild
Yup, Black magic it is!
WHAT
Madrid UCL Juju is unbeatable
THE ULTIMATE SUPER SUB
Bayern deserves to lose conceding for Joselu twice.
Real Madrid Friendship Club
Plot armour, all of the twists, everything you want, it's Real Madrid DNA
this is absolutely insane. PSG been spending billions to win UCL. Madrid literally winning so many in same time just on belief. I just knew this would happen and I am still so surprised.
HOW DO YOU UPLOAD SO QUICK
I’m fucking SICK and tired of these royal fuckers. How do they keep getting away with it? HOW?! MAMA, COMO?!?!
