Real Madrid vs Man City

Real Madrid and Manchester City will meet on Wednesday in the UEFA Champions League semifinal. This is the second leg of this match, with Man City up 4-3 ...

In the Premier League, Man City has four matches left to play and currently holds a one-point lead over Liverpool in the league table. Real Madrid has had a tough road to get to this point. Real Madrid and Manchester City will meet on Wednesday in the UEFA Champions League semifinal.

Pep Guardiola makes four changes for City's Champions League semi-final second leg tie away at Real Madrid.

● Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema has scored nine UEFA Champions League goals in the knockout stages this season, with only Cristiano Ronaldo in 2016-17 (10) ever scoring more in a single season. ● Should Manchester City qualify for the UEFA Champions League final, they will have done so in consecutive seasons, having lost 1-0 to Chelsea in last season’s final. Only two semi-finals have seen 10 or more goals scored over the two legs: Juventus 6-4 Monaco in 1997-98 and Liverpool 7-6 Roma in 2017-18. ● Real Madrid have lost their last two UEFA Champions League matches and have only lost three in a row once before, doing so between February and October 2020, a run which included two defeats to Manchester City. Current manager Carlo Ancelotti has never lost three matches in a row in the Champions League, with this match his 178th in the competition. ● Manchester City have won their last three UEFA Champions League matches against Real Madrid; only two sides have ever won four in a row against them in European competition, with Ajax doing so between 1973 and 1995 and Bayern Munich between 2000 and 2002. ●The first leg between Manchester City and Real Madrid was only the second semi-final first leg in UEFA Champions League history to see seven goals scored, along with Liverpool 5-2 Roma in 2017-18.

Manchester City are looking to book their place in the Champions League final as they face Real Madrid at the Bernabeu in the semi-final second leg.

In recent minutes, Casemiro and Benzema have both force City to put the ball out of play after going down with injuries. A little nudge in the back from behind is risky, but there's nothing doing as the home crowd scream for a free kick and further action. Benzema makes the run into the area with just Ederson to beat from a nice angle on his right foot. Kyle Walker is able to walk off and then gets ready to come back on the pitch. Kevin De Bruyne feeds through Bernardo for a shooting opportunity. City beat Real 4-3 in last week's first leg at the Etihad, and will be looking to use that advantage at the Bernabeu against Carlo Ancelotti's Champions League experts. Walker hasn't featured since the quarter-final second leg at Atletico Madrid, and will be assessed on Wednesday to see if he can play. Then he goes down having injured himself. Let off - even if the flag was up. Kyle Walker stalls in possession and Vinicius takes it off him. He has to score, but spoons it wide. Thibault Courtois is alert to it.

Pep Guardiola's side have looked assured in possession and have managed to cope well with the threat of Real so far but can they do the same in the second half? Riyad Mahrez is also involved from the outset, with Raheem Sterling named among the substitutes. The Real Madrid midfielder now requires treatment but is okay to continue.

Caesars reported taking a $1,000 bet on Real Madrid to win the match in regulation just 15 seconds prior to Rodrygo's first goal. Rodrygo's opening goal, when he got to a Benzema pass ahead of Ederson, was Madrid's first effort on target on the night. The best is yet to come, the most important [thing] is yet to come, but we have to enjoy the moment. In sharp contrast to last week's breathless contest in Manchester, the second leg of the semifinal was largely a much more cautious affair. We had to defend well, and we did it. After coming off the bench, Rodrygo scored in the 90th and 91st minutes to level the aggregate score and send the Bernabeu crowd into bedlam and the semifinal to extra time. And Vinicius Jr. missed an even clearer opportunity in the opening moments of the second half when getting his finish all wrong after a rehearsed kickoff routine gave him a clear sight of goal from six yards. Indeed, City were inches from putting the result beyond doubt when substitute Jack Grealish beat Courtois only to see Ferland Mendy desperately clear the ball off his own goalline. Madrid looked like they would be made to pay for that profligacy. ... We're in the final, but the most difficult is yet to come. With City shaken, Benzema then won and scored a penalty in the first five minutes of extra time to give Madrid a lead they would not relinquish. But, as dramatic comebacks against Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea have already shown in this season's competition, Madrid are never to be counted out.

Match report as Real Madrid produce one of the most memorable comebacks to beat Manchester City and reach the Champions League final; Rodrygo scored twice ...

If that had happened, City might have been narrow favourites to beat Liverpool in Paris, just as they are to win the Premier League. If… That is a thought that will be far away in the Spanish capital but will need to return quickly. Instead, Guardiola must lift his players, refocus them in the knowledge that the trophy that has again eluded them - the one they craved - is gone for another year. Another chance missed when he appeared to have a team capable of winning this Champions League, ending his own 11-year wait for the biggest prize in European club football. He had surprised some by asking Ilkay Gundogan to do Rodri's job in the following year's final. They put a lot of players in the box, with [Eder] Militao, Rodrygo, Vinicius, Benzema and they put in crosses and scored two goals. He had tweaked the system and been eliminated by Lyon in 2020. We found our tempo and our game and the players were comfortable. In the first half, we did not have game, we were not good enough. If the ball had ricocheted back off Phil Foden at a slightly different angle for the first chance. After we scored the goal we were better. When we are able to equalise we had a psychological advantage in extra time.

Real Madrid will face Liverpool in the Champions League final after a dramatic night at the Bernabeu during which Manchester City were just minutes from ...

They were lucky the tie even made it to extra time after Ederson was called on to make another save before the end of stoppage time. The dramatic brace also made history, with Rodrygo the first player in tournament history to score twice after the 90th minute of a knockout round game.) With Real Madrid needing two goals to force extra time, Rodrygo, on as a 68th-minute substitute, scored what looked like a consolation from Karim Benzema's cross in the 90th minute but less than 60 seconds later, headed in another to make it 2-1 on the night and 5-5 on aggregate. City were in control for the most of the night until Real Madrid's late fight-back, and could have extended their lead before Rodrygo's first goal if Jack Grealish (a second-half substitute) had taken one of two chances. This might in fact top them all. The Spanish side seemed set for a rather meek exit until some scarcely believable drama in stoppage time.

The Manchester City manager has reacted to his side's heartbreaking Champions League defeat at Real Madrid.

We were so close. We didn't play well in the first half but it's normal in this competition." "After the goal we controlled the game, Jack (Grealish) helped us control it.

It was another magical night in the greatest club competition in the world -- the UEFA Champions League. Manchester City looked to be cruising into the UCL ...

The final in Istanbul is one of the most iconic soccer matches in history, one that I remember vividly. But in terms of the most clutch comeback, this is up there with any two-leg affair in the competition's history considering they needed two goals in added time to just force extra time. Real may not always be the most convincing team on the field, but there is no denying the result and what just they just pulled off. But this game was just bonkers, with Milan taking the lead a minute in through Maldini. It was 3-0 by the half with an Hernan Crespo double, the last goal coming in the 44th minute to surely end any hope of a comeback. PSG conceded four times in the second half and three times after the 88th minute. But it was Steven Gerrard, Vladimir Smicer an Xabi Alonso off his own missed penalty kick, tapping in the rebound, drawing level with three goals in seven minutes. Sure, it wasn't via a crazy amount of goals, and not having the away goals rule anymore added to the intrigue and belief that Real were still in it. A 3-0 win in the first leg at Camp Nou seemed like more than enough to advance after 90 minutes at Anfield. In all honesty, a 3-0 win for the Reds would have been a shock, so 4-0? AC Milan crushed Deportivo La Coruna 4-1 in the first leg, and there was no way a team featuring the likes of Dida, Cafu, Paolo Maldini, Andriy Shevchenko and arguably the world's top young talent Kaka, were going to blow this. You can argue it was the most improbable comeback because in the others below, there was plenty of time to pull it off -- maybe a half or an entire game. Looking back through the years of this historic competition, where does Wednesday's this jaw-dropping second-half comeback (or collapse, depending on your rooting interest) rank? Craving even more coverage of the world's game?

The star center-back has been huge for the team as they managed to win La Liga comfortably, but if he can't go, it means we likely see Eder Militao and Nacho start at the back. The English fullback did not play in the first leg, with John Stones getting the start, but the veteran went off injured in the first half. Real: A big injury blow for Real looked certain as David Alaba had been ruled out by Carlo Ancelotti, but he was actually on the squad that the team announced for the game.

Karim Benzema scored an extra-time penalty as Real Madrid came from behind to beat Manchester City and set up a Champions League final against Liverpool.

City were on the back foot as space opened up for Modric in the box but a poor touch made his finish difficult. City pushed as Fernandinho came up just short at the back post when Courtois parried away. City's collapse would have been almost inexplicable had it been against anyone other than Real Madrid, who advance to their 17th final in the competition.

Real Madrid reached the Champions League final in the most dramatic of circumstances, pulling one goal back in the 90th minute, equalising in stoppage time ...

We found our tempo and our game and the players were comfortable. In the first half we did not have game, we were not good enough. But in the end we could not reach it. I have no time to think about this [losing the game]. It was difficult as City had control of the game but the last opportunity we were able to go to extra-time. Manchester City were moonwalking into the final with six minutes to go. A cross from the right leaves Manchester City all over the shop. Camavinga finds Benzema in the box and Dias is just slightly late. A ball gets pumped to the back post where Benzema knocks it back across goal. Manchester City were in shock. Somehow Phil Foden does not force the ball home from a yard out. Real Madrid reached the Champions League final in the most dramatic of circumstances, pulling one goal back in the 90th minute, equalising in stoppage time and winning it in extra time. Jack Grealish motors down the left and rolls a cross-shot into the middle.

Real Madrid pulled off a historic comeback against Manchester City in the Champions League. Here's how each of the individual players performed...

Bringing him on to try and hold onto the lead was a decent idea, but once Madrid levelled it, Gundogan struggled to find his place. However, he would have to leave the game in the 72nd minute having picked up a bit of an injury. He continues to make his case for the Ballon D’Or with strong UCL performances. Overall, he had a good game in his role as more of a holding midfielder. When he was brought off just before Madrid began their comeback, his attacking presence was thoroughly missed in extra time, as City were searching for a goal. In the first goal, he could have done arguably a bit better, as Ederson was caught somewhat out of position while the ball was played in and he fell to his knees. However, Dias’ most costly error was when he mistimed his slide on Karim Benzema inside the penalty area; it was frankly quite a needless challenge to give away the penalty, which proved to be the game-winner that sent Real Madrid through to the finals. In the second goal, Ederson merely watched on as Rodrigo’s header soared past him, and on the penalty, he was sent in the wrong direction. It’s about coming to a club where you know you’re a part of something much greater than yourself.”pic.twitter.com/IH53Pyw7ha Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City took the lead at the Beunbau and were well on their way to their second Champions League Final in back-to-back campaigns. It appeared to be all over as we reached the 90th minute, and that’s when the giant that is Los Blancos came to life and turned the fixture on its head. Two goals scored by Rodrygo almost one minute apart from each other in the embers of the game saw the tie go into extra time.

City pushed as Fernandinho came up just short at the back post when Courtois parried away. "It's the greatness of this club," said Real coach Carlo Ancelotti.

With this shirt, we learn to always fight to the end. This is going to be some final." We found our tempo after the break, but we didn't play our best. This was a decisive performance to take Real to the final in Paris." We are used to it. City simply didn't look like conceding for the best part of 90 minutes, then up popped Rodrygo to breathe life into a tie that appeared to be reaching a straightforward conclusion. The game was close to finished and we managed to find the last energy we had. First, with 90 minutes on the clock, Rodrygo beat Ederson to Karim Benzema's cutback to give the hosts hope, but time was still against them. "He kept Real alive with big saves across the 120 minutes. Courtois was then on hand to keep out Phil Foden's header to ensure no further twists. Just a minute later, the substitute headed in Dani Carvajal's cross to make it 5-5 on aggregate – and even then, Ederson was required to deny Rodrygo the unlikeliest of hat-tricks and force extra time. City were tactically smart in keeping Madrid at arm's length for much of this game, denying them even a single shot on target for 89 minutes.
