Real Madrid's stunning fightback denies Manchester City a place in Champions League final

Real Madrid will meet Liverpool in the Champions League final on May 28 after an incredible recovery to beat Manchester City 3-1 in their semi-final second leg on Wednesday, and win the tie 6-5 on aggregate.

Real were trailing 1-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu when goals a minute from the final whistle and another in stoppage time from Brazilian Rodrygo took the clash into the extra period.

French striker Karim Benzyma then converted a penalty to book Real a place in the final in Paris, and leave City heartbroken after last season's runners-up were denied another opportunity to claim club football's biggest prize.

It was another magical Champions League night at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium for the 13-time European champions.

Madrid had already pulled off thrilling comebacks at the Bernabeu against Paris Saint-Germain in the round of 16 and Chelsea in the quarter-finals.

The result ended City’s quest for their first Champions League trophy after Pep Guardiola’s side lost in the final last year to Chelsea.

Madrid looked beaten near the end of normal time when Rodrygo scored his goals two minutes apart. Riyad Mahrez had put City ahead in the 73rd but the Brazilian forward equalised in the 90th and headed another a minute into stoppage time.

It capped another amazing night for coach Carlo Ancelotti, who became the first manager to reach five Champions League finals.

Last Saturday, he became the first manager to win a title in each of the top five European leagues.
