Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti was left in tears by his side’s “magic” Champions League semi-final comeback victory over Manchester City on Wednesday.
Rodrygo Goes netted twice in the final minute of the match for the Spanish giants as Pep Guardiola’s side capitulated in the closing stages to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Karim Benzema’s penalty in extra-time sealed the progress for the Spanish giants after City had led 5-3 on aggregate going into the final minute of regulation time.
It was another stunning comeback from Los Blancos – who enjoyed similar revivals from the dead against both Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea in the knockout stages – to ensure that Ancelotti became the first manager to reach five Champions League finals, having become the first coach to win each of Europe’s top five leagues.
