Real Madrid’s stunning comeback knocks Manchester City out of the Champions League.
Real Madrid produced one of the most dramatic comebacks in Champions League history, overturning a two-goal deficit against Manchester City to win 3-1 in extra time (agg 6-5) and advance to the final. The tie seemed to be heading in City’s favor until Rodrygo’s remarkable late brace in the final minutes of regular time, leveling the aggregate score at 5-5.
With City still reeling from Rodrygo’s goals, Karim Benzema sealed the win for Madrid with a coolly converted penalty in extra time, giving them their first lead of the tie and sending them to the final in Paris.
City had been in control for much of the game, with Riyad Mahrez’s strike in the 73rd minute giving them a crucial 5-3 aggregate lead. However, Madrid’s resilience in the dying moments left City stunned. This unforgettable night at the Santiago Bernabéu will go down in history as one of the greatest comebacks in European football.
