What happened
For 54 minutes this was the Atlético home game Europe knows: compact, stubborn, goalless. Then Le Normand lingered on the ball a moment too long, Karl — 18 years old, and already on five Champions League goals — nipped in and lifted his finish over Jan Oblak.
Atlético chased the game and Bayern finished it: Kane's pass found Laimer, who rifled the second into the roof of the net in the 74th minute. Reuters noted the setting carries a promise — the Metropolitano hosts this season's final in June, and Bayern have now won in it.
