Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer gifts Real Madrid late equaliser with shocking mistake in Champions League semi-final second leg

Fans were heaping praise on Manuel Neuer for his performance against Real Madrid only for the veteran goalkeeper to gift Los Blancos an equaliser in the dying stages of the Champions League semi-final.

Neuer had made string of fine saves before Alphonso Davies gave Bayern Munich the lead with a thunderous strike midway through the second half.

Madrid were starting to get desperate as the game neared injury time but they were given a lifeline as Vincius Jnr's relatively tame effort was spilled into Joselu's path by Neuer.

The substitute tucked it away to level the tie and then compounded Neuer's misery by putting the hosts ahead three minutes later.

Fans couldn't believe their eyes as one of the greatest keepers of all time made the most uncharacteristic of mistakes to cost his side their lead, after Thomas Tuchel had subbed off Harry Kane, Leroy Sane and Jamal Musiala.

One wrote on X: 'Out of all the ways for Neuer to concede. I did NOT see that coming. You could not write it man.

Another posted: 'Unbelievable... 87 minutes of absolute brilliance, only to make a costly error... cruel, cruel moment.'

And a third said: 'Wow Neuer that’s a shocker!' 

Bayern never recovered from Joselu's quick-fire double and Madrid booked their place in yet another Champions league final.

Carlo Ancelotti's side showed once again why you can never count them out and Bayern will end the season trophyless for the first time in 12 years. 

Los Blancos meanwhile travel to Wembley where they will face another Bundesliga opponent in Borussia Dortmund in the showpiece final. 

Dortmund pulled off an upset by beating Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 at the Parc des Princes thanks to a Mats Hummels header. 

As such, Bellingham will take on his former side in the final in what should be a stunning event, though Real Madrid will surely go into the occasion as favourites.
