Real Madrid striker Joselu hit two last-minute goals against Bayern Munich to launch his team into the Champions League final with a 2-1 win on Wednesday, that sent them through 4-3 on aggregate.

Alphonso Davies had earlier flung the visiting German giants ahead in the second half but 14-time record-winning Real Madrid produced a sensational comeback with Joselu scoring goals in the 88th and 91st minutes.

Real moved ahead to their sixth Champions League final in 10 years and will fight for a record-extending 15th title against Borussia Dortmund at the Wembley Stadium on June 1, report associated press and CNN.

In a repeat of their brilliant semi-final comeback win against Manchester City two years ago, Real Madrid saw their opponents take the lead after Bayern substitute Alphonso Davies scored a counter in the 68th minute.

However, Joselu climbed off the bench to equalize the match, following a disaster from Manuel Neuer in the 88th minute and, two minutes later, he shinned a second goal into the Bayern post after a cross by Antonio Ruediger.

On Tuesday, Paris St Germain forward Kylian Mbappe shouldered the blame for their 1-0 defeat to Borussia Dortmund, which saw them exit the Champions League semi-finals 2-0 on aggregate.
