BREAKING: Real Madrid Defeat Manchester City, Qualify For Champions League Final – #RMAMCI—-The Genius Media Nigeria reports that Real Madrid have qualified for 2022 #UEFA Champions League Final
The Spanish giants had seemed to be on their way out of Europe’s elite football competition when Mahrez fired the visitors into the lead to give them a two-goal cushion following their 3-2 victory last home at their Etihad Stadium fortress in England.
But that was not to be as Madrid brought their Santiago Bernabau den alive with two late goals to leave scores at 5-5 overall, thus stretching the match into extra time.
That wasn’t just a great match. It was a historic one.
Manchester City were in full control for 89 minutes and should have put the tie away when Grealish was granted a pair of chances in the late stages of the game.
Real Madrid never gave up, though, and struck twice through Rodrygo to force extra time. He’s become Mr. Champions League for them.
Shortly into the first stanza of extra time, old war horse Benzema struck from the penalty spot to leave the result at 3-1 and 6-5 overall and book a ticket to the final in Paris to meet Liverpool, who beat Villareal of Spain on Tuesday to zoom into the final
