Champions League: Real Madrid Beat Manchester City in Bernabeu Thriller
4-3 Aggregate Victory Sends Los Blancos into Semis
Rodrygo and Benzema Strike Late to Secure Win
In a thrilling Champions League clash at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid emerged victorious over Manchester City, winning 1-0 on the night and 4-3 on aggregate to advance to the semi-finals. The match was a tale of two halves, with City dominating the first and Madrid controlling the second.
The visitors had several chances to take the lead in the opening period, but Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois made a string of impressive saves to keep his team in the game. City's best opportunity came in the 44th minute when Phil Foden's dangerous cross was nodded behind by Dani Carvajal.
The second half was a different story, as Madrid began to assert their dominance. In the 79th minute, Rodrygo broke the deadlock with a well-taken finish from the center of the box. The goal sparked a wave of momentum for Madrid, and in the 82nd minute, Karim Benzema doubled their lead with a clinical finish.
Despite the late goals, City continued to press for an equalizer, but Courtois stood firm to deny them. The final whistle blew with Madrid celebrating a memorable victory and a place in the semi-finals. Eden Hazard came off the bench to provide a spark for Madrid in the second half, and his impact was evident in the team's improved performance.
The victory is a major boost for Madrid, who are looking to win their 15th Champions League title. They will face either Barcelona or Bayern Munich in the semi-finals.
