As celebrations took to the roof of the Bernabeu Stadium, Jude Bellingham finally sought out Harry Kane to console him.

And boy, after (even by their standards) Real Madrid’s most improbable comeback, the England captain, who had been substituted five minutes from time, needed some consolation. It may take you a while to get over this.




It may take him a while to accept the decision to withdraw him when Bayern were ahead in this match. Kane’s assist for Alphonso Davies’ spectacular goal seemed to have prepared Bayern for the trip to Wembley.

But substitute Joselu’s dramatic late goals – and the controversial flag of an assistant referee who ruled out what could have been a last-gasp draw from Matthijs de Ligt – gave Real the most unlikely of victories and Bellingham the chance to win the Champions League in its first season. with Real.

And yes, you read correctly… Joselu, Joselu, 34 years old, on loan from second division Espanyol. Yes, you read correctly… Joselu, Joselu who couldn’t endure a cold Tuesday night during his time at Stoke City but who scored two goals in three minutes on a soft – and crazy – Wednesday night in Madrid.

Yes, you read correctly… Joselu, Joselu, who only managed seven goals in 52 games for Newcastle United and now has 18 for Real this season, a La Liga title to his name and has sent Carlo Ancelotti’s team to another final.

Football, huh?
