After securing a dramatic 2-1 victory over Bayern Munich in the Champions League semi-final, Real Madrid had special shirts ready to celebrate their win. The Spanish giants were so confident of reaching the final that the shirts were prepared and waiting for the players at the full-time whistle.

The match saw a stunning turnaround, with substitute Joselu scoring twice late in the game to secure the win for Real Madrid. The victory means that Real Madrid will face Borussia Dortmund in the final at Wembley Stadium. Following the match, the Real Madrid stars changed into special shirts with the message “A por la 15” printed on the back, which translates to “Go for 15” in English. This message reflects the club’s ambition to win their 15th Champions League title this season.

The win also marks a significant moment for manager Carlo Ancelotti, who is aiming to win his third Champions League title with Real Madrid. Ancelotti previously led the club to Champions League glory in 2014 and 2022. The players celebrated their victory on the pitch wearing the special shirts, with Jude Bellingham among those seen in the unique jersey as they danced and celebrated the hard-fought win.

“Not really [didn’t have nerves], I really wish I could say I did” 🥶️
