The La Liga giants overcame the European champions Bayern Munich 4-0 in the second leg of their Uefa Champions League semi-final at the Allianz Arena on Tuesday night to progress to the final in Lisbon next month 5-0 on aggregate, the first time for 12 years that Los Blancos have reached the European Cup final.
