Eurosport Spain's Felix Martin has given his expert reaction to Real Madrid's now-famous comeback to beat Manchester City and reach the Champions League final. Carlo Ancelotti's La Liga-winning side produced one of the greatest ever European performances from stoppage-time to extra-time to defeat City 3-1, 6-5 on aggregate, in hugely dramatic fashion at the Bernabeu.
Real Madrid added another mind-boggling comeback to the club's long history of magical European nights on Wednesday but the revival against Manchester City may prove to be less about the past and more about the future. Karim Benzema scored the winning penalty in extra-time to take his tally to 10 goals in six Champions League knock-out games, an astonishing record not least because of the stage, the class of opponent and the weight of his contributions. Against Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and City, it was a goal by Benzema that sent Madrid through.
"Football is unpredictable." That's how Pep Guardiola summed up Manchester City's heartbreaking elimination from the Champions League.
Real Madrid and the Champions League, name us a better combination in football?

Heading for the Champions League final with just minutes to go in the Bernabeu, Manchester City lost a two-goal lead and were beaten in extra time by Real Madrid.
Real Madrid produced one of the great Champions League comebacks to defeat Manchester City 3-1 after extra time at the Bernabeu, and go through 6-5 on aggregate. Even when substitute Rodrygo nipped in front of Ederson to steer home Karim Benzema's pull-back in the last minute to draw level with Riyad Mahrez's City goal, a Real win seemed a tall order.
