Real Madrid secured a 2-1 second leg victory to advance to next month’s final at Wembley Stadium on Wednesday night.
A brace from substitute Joselu snatched the win, with Bayern’s rivals Borussia Dortmund awaiting in London.
At the end of the match, the Real Madrid stars changed into special shirts with the message “A por la 15” printed on the back.
The message means “Go for 15” in English, referencing the club’s aim to win their 15th Champions League this season.
Los Blancos’ stars wore the shirts as they celebrated the win on the pitch.
Jude Bellingham could be seen in the special jersey as he danced with match winner Joselu and Eduardo Camavinga.
Former Stoke striker Joselu came off the bench to complete a dramatic late turnaround.
He capitalised on a mistake from Manuel Neuer to equalise in the 88th minute.

Three minutes later he scored the winner after a VAR review overturned the on-field decision to rule it out for offside.
Real had fallen behind earlier in the second half through a stunning Alphonso Davies strike.
They thought they had equalised just minutes later after a corner routine deflected in off Davies.
However, the strike was disallowed by VAR for a foul on Joshua Kimmich by Nacho Fernandez.
Carlo Ancelotti will now be hoping to win his third Champions League with Real Madrid.
He has previously won the competition in each of his two spells as manager in 2014 and 2022.
