‘It’s their history!’ – Pep Guardiola after Real Madrid stun Manchester City in Champions League semi-final
Pep Guardiola pointed to Real Madrid’s history of scoring late goals in the Champions League as he processed his side’s stunning loss to Real Madrid in the Champions League final. With Madrid a goal down on the night – and two on aggregate – Rodrygo scored a quick-fire, late brace with strikes in the 89th and 91st minutes to send the tie to extra-time, where Karim Benzema’s penalty – in the 94th minute – sealed an improbable win.
