Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer said his late Champions League semi-final howler against Real Madrid was “extremely bitter” as his side were knocked out of the tournament.
With just two minutes remaining, Bayern were leading 1-0 thanks to a 68th-minute strike from Alphonso Davies, the Canadian’s first Champions League goal, and seemingly on course to meet rivals Borussia Dortmund in the final at Wembley. However, Vinicius Junior then sent in a simple-looking shot from outside the box and Neuer, who had impressed with a series of acrobatic saves all evening, spilled the ball into the path of Joselu, who levelled the scores.
