Man City 1-3 Real Madrid: Karim Benzema's penalty sends Los Blancos to Champions League final
Real Madridare through to the Champions League final after completing an incredible comeback in their semi-final tie against Manchester City.
City were 5-3 up on aggregate going into stoppage-time at the Santiago Bernabeu.
In truth, Real were being outclassed by the English giants. They rarely threatened and hadn’t recorded a single shot on target in normal time.
But you can never write Real off.
Rodrygo Goes, who entered the fray in the 68th minute, gave Real hope after converting Karim Benzema‘s cut-back in the 90th minute.
Moments later, the Brazilian planted a brilliant header past Ederson to force extra-time.
It only took a few minutes of extra-time for Real to take the lead for the first time in the tie.
Los Blancos were given a penalty when Benzema was felled inside the box by Ruben Dias.
Benzema brushed himself down and showed nerves of steel as he dispatched his penalty into the bottom corner.
REAL MADRID HAVE GONE AHEAD!
