After Bb4+, Rxb4, so after Rxf7, the rook on b4 escapes being taken by a5. All we did was give up a bishop for a knight.
Ok, but black has the intermediate move axb4+ (the white king will be on c3, white must get out of check first).
Bb4+, Rxb4, axb4+, Rxf7
Yes, I see now the a5 pawn takes the rook on b4 and checks the king. Thank you. That was missing in the solution notation.
Yes, it was missed in the solution. I updated it, thanks for pointing it out.
