In a match filled with twists and turns, Real Madrid showcased their legendary resilience to secure a dramatic 4-2 victory over Bayern Munich on Wednesday night. The victory sends Los Blancos through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League after trailing 3-1 from the first leg.

Trailing 2-1 heading into the final 20 minutes, Real Madrid's hopes seemed bleak. However, a stunning brace from Joselu in quick succession turned the tide in their favor. The first came in the 75th minute, when he capitalized on a defensive error to slot home from close range.

Just four minutes later, Joselu pounced on a loose ball inside the Bayern penalty area and unleashed a powerful shot into the bottom corner. The Bernabeu crowd erupted in jubilation as the home side completed an improbable comeback.

While Joselu's late goals were the decisive moments, Karim Benzema's brilliant performance laid the foundation for Real Madrid's victory. The French striker opened the scoring in the 64th minute with a clinical finish from the edge of the area.
