Bayern Munich's Alphonso Davies scores first Champions League goal in dramatic draw against Real Madrid
Davies' stunning strike gives Bayern the lead
But Real Madrid fight back to earn a draw and keep their Champions League hopes alive
Alphonso Davies scored his first-ever Champions League goal in dramatic fashion on Wednesday night, giving Bayern Munich the lead in their semi-final first leg against Real Madrid.
The Canadian international curled a beautiful effort into the top corner from the edge of the box, leaving Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois with no chance.
Davies' goal gave Bayern the lead in the 68th minute, and it looked as if the German giants were on their way to a famous victory.
However, Real Madrid showed their fighting spirit and came back to earn a draw thanks to two late goals from Karim Benzema.
The draw keeps Real Madrid's Champions League hopes alive, but they will need to produce a special performance in the second leg if they are to overcome Bayern Munich and reach the final.
For Bayern Munich, Davies' goal was a moment to savour. The 21-year-old has been in excellent form for Bayern this season, and his goal against Real Madrid was a testament to his talent.
Davies will now be hoping to help Bayern Munich win the Champions League this season. The German giants are one of the favourites for the trophy, and Davies will be determined to play a key role in their success.
