As the match approached halftime, the tension soared. Referee Munuera indicated three minutes of additional time. Real Madrid managed to equalize in the 47th minute thanks to a stunning effort from Vinicius, making the score 1-1.
Late Drama Before Halftime
- 47′ – Vinicius scores for Real Madrid, 1-1.
- 49′ – Lewandowski puts Barcelona ahead again, 2-1.

Just as it seemed the first half would conclude with a 1-1 score, Lewandowski netted a second goal for Barcelona in the 49th minute. However, the drama did not end there. Immediately after restarting the match, Madrid struck back. Huijsen’s header hit the post, and Gonzalo was quick to capitalize on the rebound, leveling the score at 2-2.
Extended Injury Time Explained
Munuera’s decision to extend the regulation time was met with some controversy. He allowed play to continue until 52:37, almost five minutes past the initially indicated three minutes of added time. This was attributed to a hydration break and the time lost during both goals scored.
The situation drew protests from Barcelona’s team regarding the corner kick that led to Gonzalo’s goal, but the referee deemed it a continuation of the play.
This unpredictable turn of events showcased the high stakes and breathtaking pace of football at its finest, encapsulating why such finals captivate millions worldwide.
