Arda Guler shocked Bayern Munich with a long-range strike inside 45 seconds after Neuer’s foul – but the hosts canceled it out minutes later.
Guler leveled the tie within 45 seconds – only for Bayern to go back in front minutes later
Arda Guler capitalized on Manuel Neuer’s mistake to silence the Allianz Arena with a long-range strike inside 45 seconds of the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Bayern Munich.
But after Real leveled the game early on, Bayern were back in front a few minutes later through Aleksandar Pavlovic.
Real started the game with a draw after losing 2-1 at the Bernabeu last week but equalized just seconds after a goal that was hot as it turned out to be a disaster through Neuer’s mistake.
After Bayern kicked off, the ball returned to Bayern’s goalkeeper, who scored the match in the first leg, who received a poor pass.
The 40-year-old player played it straight to Guler, who had the opportunity to shoot and beat the stopper out of the area.
The Turkish player made no mistake from 35 yards as he struck first time with his left foot as the ball flew to make it 2-2 at the end of the game.
Pavlovic guided Bayern back to back in the away game
But after just a few minutes, Bayern went ahead again and this time it was Andriy Lunin’s turn to make a mistake as he didn’t get close to Joshua Kimmich’s accidental corner.
Lunin appeared to be behind his line as the corner swung in, allowing Aleksandar Pavlovic an easy chance to score the equalizer to make it 1-1 on the night and 3-2 away.

- Eight of Kimmich’s 17 goals came from Michael Olise, who went from one player to another in the process.
- Bayern’s Harry Kane has scored in his last four Champions League games (6 goals) and would equal the longest scoring streak by an English player in the competition (5, by Steven Gerrard in 2007/08)
