Xtra Time Web Desk : It was totally a night of magic at the Santiago Bernabeu as Real Madrid made a miraculous comeback against Manchester City, from being 1-0 in the dying minutes of the game to win the 2nd leg of the UEFA Champions League semi final by a 3-1 (Aggregate 6-5), courtesy of a Karim Benzema penalty and a brace by Rodrygo to qualify for the finals.
In what was expected to be a high voltage clash, both the teams played attacking football from the minute go, only to miss their chances at the final third, which made the scoreline being 0-0 at the halfway stage of the game.
Manchester City, who were in ascendancy from the start due to a 4-3 victory at Manchester were the first to draw blood on Wednesday as Riyad Mahrez scored a fantastic strike to put Real almost out at the 73rd minute of the game.
But Real Madrid, being the premier club of the competition with 13 victories, knew how to make their way back and thus did so, this time with young Brazilian Rodrygo, who scored a brace within a single minute (90+91) to put Real back in the game before Karim Benzema’s penalty sealed the deal for the Los Blancos at the 95th minute.
