Real Madrid's Joselu celebrates his second goal in the Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid

A dramatic late double from former Stoke City striker Joselu sent Real Madrid through to the Champions League final at Wembley after a 4-3 aggregate victory over Bayern Munich at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The tie was level after four goals were shared in the first leg of the semi-final in Germany last week.

Madrid had an impressive 13-month unbeaten home record and a wealth of European history behind them, but they were on the brink of a second successive exit in the last four of this competition when Bayern substitute Alphonso Davies produced a 68th-minute rocket .

It stunned the previously jubilant home crowd, but Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti worked his magic and turned to his bench to save the day.

Joselu answered the SOS when he took full advantage of Manuel Neuer's mistake to score the equalizer after 88 minutes.

Three minutes later he sent in a second, which was initially disallowed before being given after VAR intervened.

Ancelotti's side endured an extended spell of stoppage time and Matthijs de Lift was ruled out in a late try for the visitors to ensure Madrid recorded an 18th appearance in a European Cup final, days after they lifted the LaLiga title.

It also meant that England captain Harry Kane, who was eliminated with his team in charge, will be relegated to a trophyless first season with the German giants.
