📰 Bayern, Real Madrid Out of UCL | Newcastle Crush Palace 5-0
⚽ Bayern Munich Bow Out Despite Brave Fight
Bayern Munich gave everything but were knocked out of the UEFA Champions League after a 2-2 draw against Inter Milan at San Siro. With a 4-3 aggregate loss, their journey ends before the semifinals.
Injuries played a major role. Key players like Jamal Musiala, Manuel Neuer, and Alphonso Davies missed the clash.
Manager Vincent Kompany spoke about the setback:
“The big issue before facing Inter was injuries. We missed key players.”
Still, Bayern showed fighting spirit. Although they created more chances than Inter, they couldn’t make it count. Sadly, the final won’t be at their home ground, the Allianz Arena.
🟥 Real Madrid Eliminated by Arsenal, Ancelotti’s Future in Doubt
Real Madrid lost 2-1 to Arsenal and crashed out 5-1 on aggregate. Gabriel Martinelli scored the decisive goal in added time, sealing Arsenal’s semifinal spot.
After the match, Carlo Ancelotti admitted uncertainty about his future:
“It could be tomorrow, next month, or next year. When I leave, I will thank this club.”
Madrid’s attack lacked sharpness. Thibaut Courtois also highlighted the absence of a true striker, saying the team often played more as individuals than a unit.
⚫ Newcastle United Thrash Crystal Palace 5-0
Meanwhile, in the Premier League, Newcastle United were in top form. They destroyed Crystal Palace 5-0 at St. James’ Park, moving up to third place in the table.
Goals came from Jacob Murphy, Harvey Barnes, Fabian Schar, and Alexander Isak. A Marc Guehi own goal added to Palace’s woes.
Despite being without manager Eddie Howe (recovering from illness), the Magpies looked confident and clinical.
Harvey Barnes praised the team:
“We’re focused on making the manager proud.”
This dominant win boosts Newcastle’s chances of qualifying for next season’s Champions League.
