Bayern Munich booked their place in the UEFA Champions League final after a thrilling penalty shootout victory over Real Madrid on Wednesday night.

The match was a see-saw affair, with both teams having their chances to win. Bayern Munich took the lead in the first half through Robert Lewandowski, but Real Madrid equalized through Karim Benzema in the second half. The match went to extra time, but neither team could find a winner, so the match went to a penalty shootout.

Bayern Munich were perfect from the spot, with all five of their takers finding the net. Real Madrid, on the other hand, missed two of their penalties, allowing Bayern Munich to win the shootout 5-4.

The victory is a major achievement for Bayern Munich, who are now one step away from winning their first Champions League title since 2013. Real Madrid, meanwhile, will be disappointed to have missed out on a chance to reach the final, but they can take solace in the fact that they played well and gave Bayern Munich a real run for their money.
