Real Madrid live up to Arsene Wenger's expectations again after "miracle" blast

Real Madrid produced yet another historic moment in this year’s Champions League by progressing into the final of the competition with a late comeback and Arsene Wenger was not surprised by their latest "miracle".

Madrid somehow managed to force extra time against Manchester City despite being 5-3 down on aggregate with six minutes to play. Brazilian winger Rodrygo popped up with two goals in two minutes after Riyad Mahrez had appeared to put the game to bed with a fierce strike in the 73rd minute.

Karim Benzema then turned the tie on its head in the 95th minute, coolly converting from the penalty spot. The Frenchman was brought down by Ruben Dias leaving the referee with no decision but to point to the spot, and Madrid held on to secure a stunning comeback.
