Real Madrid's jubilant players have all pinpointed a change in atmosphere after their late equaliser against Manchester City that spurred them on to complete their incredible Champions League comeback.
Real were staring at a semi-final defeat going into injury time at the end of their second leg two goals down on aggregate, but a quickfire Rodrygo double in that stoppage time forced the game into extra time. At that point, Real players Thibaut Courtois, Casemiro and Fede Valverde all said that they knew there would only be one winner.
Goal hero Rodrygo also said Madrid's history in the Champions League, and their comebacks against PSG and Chelsea in this year's competition, were enough to give them belief that they could knock City out too.
