    After Alphonso Davies fired Bayern to a 1-0 lead in the second leg of the tie in the Spanish capital, Joselu nipped in to pounce on a mistake from Manuel Neuer and grab a late equaliser, levelling matters at 3-3 on aggregate. Not long afterwards, he was on the end of a cross from Antonio Rudiger and knocked it past Neuer to make it 2-1. The second effort was initially ruled out for offside, but a VAR review showed that Joselu was onside when the cross came in and the referee awarded the goal.
