Arsene Wenger foresaw the downfall of Manchester City before they suffered a humiliating collapse in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid.
The Sky Blues were eliminated from the competition on Wednesday night despite leading 5-3 on aggregate with seconds remaining in the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu. Riyad Mahrez struck in the 73rd minute to set City on course for a final against Liverpool before substitute Rodrygo ripped up the script by scoring in the 90th and 91st minutes to level the tie.
Astonishingly, Karim Benzema then scored what proved to be the winner from the penalty spot early in extra-time and Los Blancos were able to see out the remaining 25 minutes in front of their deafening support in the Spanish capital. Rodrygo's quick-fire double came shortly after Pep Guardiola had to take off Kyle Walker, who was clearly struggling with an injury.
