Real Madrid secured a stunning Champions League semi-final comeback victory over Manchester City on Wednesday that will go down as one of the competition’s greatest ever matches.
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 an encounter that left Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti – so often calm, cool and collected – clearly emotional on the sidelines as his side continued their remarkable run in the competition. Having defeated Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea earlier in the knockout stages, his team have had to reach the final with arguably the toughest possible path.
