An incredible strike, scored by Rodrygo in the 90th minute, ties City vs. Santos Dumont to send it to extra time.
Real Madrid managed to fight back against Paris Saint-Germain and win the tie. The unbelievable result came in the form of a last-minute penalty goal by Cristiano Ronaldo.
Madrid saved the day. They beat their biggest threat, Paris Saint-Germain, and knocked out Chelsea who had been strong in the first two rounds. The upcoming game was a close one as well, but Madrid was able to get the win.
PSG and Chelsea will be wondering how it happened and for City, questions about the coach will now arise. For all his success in the past, he will go on without leading them to the European championship.
Manchester City put up a good fight, but Real Madrid’s decades-long experience at the final stop proved too much to overcome.
At the beginning of the match, the stadium was filled with banners reading “Another magic night from the kings of Europe,” but for most of the normal time, this game did not live up to last weekend’s 7-goal thriller.
Benzema had a few chances, but he missed.
During the game, clashes between Luka Modric of Madrid and Rodri of City arose. Then, Madrid had to make a save from Thibaut Courtois.
In the first part of the game, Real Madrid survived and then improved with Modric being a key player. He was able to stop De Bruyne from scoring by outrunning him to a counter attack.
After only a few minutes, Carvajal found space on his side and Vinicius Junior shot wide.
Mahrez struck and Walker’s injury disrupted Madrid from their momentum. After the game found its flow again, City then went ahead. Gundogan’s pass cut through Madrid’s midfield to find Silva, who then danced his way towards the box.
It was a poor decision to shoot, as it led to a goal. Silva made a difficult pass, which was received by Mahrez for the same shot at an early time past Courtois.
Modric had faith in the Croatian and Madrid still seemed confident.
Jack Grealish came on as a substitute and could have scored twice, but his shots were cleared off the line and past the post.
Real Madrid had a really tough game, but they got back up and started winning.
There is six minutes of time left on the clock in the 90th minute. During this added time, Benzema cushioned a ball brilliantly across for Rodrygo to put this goal in at the near post.
In the recent Madrid-City game, Madrid only needed one goal as City were sprawled and broken. All it needed was Carvajal’s cross which Rodrygo headed in.
In just four minutes into the game, Madrid had scored a penalty. They won the penalty because of an error on the opposing team’s side and proceeded to make the goal uncontested with their effortless execution.
City’s final attack was rebuffed with Courtois easily saving the ball.
