Real Madrid were forced to dig deep to secure a draw against Bayern Munich on Tuesday night at the Allianz Arena.
In the end, a brace from Vinicius Jr helped level the score on aggregate at 2-2, and there is everything to play for at the Santiago Bernabeu next week.
The Tuesday clash, in many ways, was a game of records with Vinicius becoming only the fourth player to score in three consecutive semifinals. He was not the only Real Madrid star to script history on the night, however, as Luka Modric broke a long-standing historic record as well.
Coming on for Jude Bellingham in the 75th minute on the night, Modric became the oldest player ever to have donned the prestigious white colour jersey in the UEFA Champions League match.
The record, to date, was held by the legendary Ferenc Puskas who stepped onto the field at 38 years and 229 days of age against Kilmarnock in the European Cup. Modric, on Tuesday night, shattered that record at 38 years and 234 days.
Moreover, the legend also surpassed Roberto Carlos to become the player with the 14th most appearances for the club with 527 games played and also the fifth most in the UCL.
