Last time, it was a late penalty. This time, a goalkeeping blunder.
Real Madrid keeps finding ways to get out of trouble in the Champions League.
Madrid conceded early again at home and barely held on for a draw 2-2 against Bayern in yesterday's semifinal match, advancing 4-3 on aggregate to stay on track for a third consecutive European title.
But with Cristiano Ronaldo held scoreless for the second time in as many games, Madrid needed a blunder from Bayern goalkeeper Sven Ulreich to gift them their second and crucial goal on the night.
"It's a Champions League semifinal. You will always suffer," Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane said.
"Nothing is easy. Football is like that, you have to suffer. And when you win, it feels even better, although it's not too good for your heart."
"We dominated. They should thank (goalkeeper Keylor) Navas for his performance, especially toward the end of the match."
"We struggled in the beginning, conceding early and not being able to play our game. But it was a lot better in the second half. We pressed up front and got the second goal."
"It was a gift."
"And if it touched my hand, I think it was (a penalty)."
