But Joselu grabbed an 88th-minute equaliser when he reacted quickest after Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer fumbled Vinicius Jr’s effort.

There was drama two minutes later when Joselu swept home from six yards out from Antonio Rudiger’s square pass as the goal had earlier been disallowed for offside.

VAR would later show that Joselu was onside, sparking incredible scenes of celebration in the Bernabeu, with Real hanging on to win 4-3 on aggregate.
