UEFA Champions League, Real Madrid defeat Manchester City in one of the greatest Champions League semifinals of all time by 3-1.
UEFA Champions League, Real Madrid have made one of the greatest European comebacks of all time to surprise Manchester City and secure the final Champions League 2022 against Liverpool.
With City leading by 4-3 points in the first leg, Real Madrid won the second leg by 3-1 points and advanced to the final.
That means Guardiola continues his quest for a Champions League title after losing to Chelsea in the final last season.
By halftime, Real sat deep and tried to beat the ball-dominant City with a counterattack and the game was flat.
The plan was shattered as Riyad Mahrez took a lead over Manchester City with two goals on aggregate.
Dodging Bernardo Silva, Marez went against his instincts and drove the ball into a far corner and instead shot past Thibaut Courtois from the near post.
The home crowd were astonished, but like PSG and Chelsea, Los Blancos did not give up their supporters.
The first goal came in the 90th minute when Karim Benzema brought in Rodrigo who had sent the ball past Ederson.
Everyone who watched the match thought there was no further chance to score, but a minute later Rodrigo rose to his feet and beat Ederson to score extra time.
Momentum shifted sharply towards the home team, who waved to fans after every tackle and successful game.
The winner came when Ruben Diaz knocked Benzema out of the box in five minutes of overtime.
The Frenchman took a traditional kick to the bottom corner after scoring a daring penalty for Panenko in the first game.
