LIVE: Real Madrid, Man City Play for Place in Champions League ... (Sports Illustrated)

The two sides combined for seven goals in their meeting at the Etihad last week, with Man City coming away with the slight advantage.

Once again, it was Vinícius who had the chance in front of goal, but the Brazilian missed the target. While City recorded four shots on goal in the first 40 minutes, Real continued to miss the target. The start lacked the frenetic energy and disorder of the first leg with neither side able to capitalize on a serious chance.

Real Madrid vs. Man City result: Benzema the remontada hero again ... (Sporting News AU)

Real Madrid face Manchester City in the highly anticipated second leg of their Champions League semi-final tie, with Pep Guardiola's men having a 4-3 lead ...

Cancelo does well to win a corner for City but Real eventually manage to clear the danger. 26 mins: Toni Kroos tries his luck from a free-kick, with his effort deflecting off Mahrez as Real look to up the ante. GOAL - Real Madrid 0-1 Manchester City (Mahrez) Riyad Mahrez scores a superb goal to put City ahead on the night and they now lead 5-3 on aggregate. 90 minutes from kickoff: The first leg in Manchester was hugely entertaining and it is hoped that tonight's clash will also be of a very high standard. 1 hour from kickoff: Although City have a one-goal lead to predict, it is difficult to imagine Pep Guardiola setting his team up with an entirely defensive mindset. Pep Guardiola's side have looked assured in possession and have managed to cope well with the threat of Real so far but can they do the same in the second half? The Real Madrid midfielder now requires treatment but is okay to continue. Full time in normal time: Real Madrid 2-1 Manchester City (5-5 on aggregate): Extra-time will now follow after an unbelievable comeback from Real. City seemed set for the final following Mahrez's goal but substitute Rodrygo scored two goals in as many minutes for Real late on. 55 mins: Benzema looks to play in Vinicius Junior, but Laporte makes a vital interception. It's heartbreaking for City but it's Real who will face Liverpool in Paris. Full-time: Real Madrid 3-1 Manchester City (Real Madrid win 6-5 on aggregate): Real Madrid make it through to the Champions League final, something which seemed almost impossible in the closing stages of normal time. The first chance of extra-time falls to Benzema, whose shot is saved.

Real Madrid vs. Manchester City - Football Match Report - May 4 ... (ESPN)

Get a report of the Real Madrid vs. Manchester City 2021-22 UEFA Champions League, Semifinals football match.

Caesars reported taking a $1,000 bet on Real Madrid to win the match in regulation just 15 seconds prior to Rodrygo's first goal. Rodrygo's opening goal, when he got to a Benzema pass ahead of Ederson, was Madrid's first effort on target on the night. The best is yet to come, the most important [thing] is yet to come, but we have to enjoy the moment. In sharp contrast to last week's breathless contest in Manchester, the second leg of the semifinal was largely a much more cautious affair. We had to defend well, and we did it. After coming off the bench, Rodrygo scored in the 90th and 91st minutes to level the aggregate score and send the Bernabeu crowd into bedlam and the semifinal to extra time. And Vinicius Jr. missed an even clearer opportunity in the opening moments of the second half when getting his finish all wrong after a rehearsed kickoff routine gave him a clear sight of goal from six yards. Indeed, City were inches from putting the result beyond doubt when substitute Jack Grealish beat Courtois only to see Ferland Mendy desperately clear the ball off his own goalline. Madrid looked like they would be made to pay for that profligacy. ... We're in the final, but the most difficult is yet to come. With City shaken, Benzema then won and scored a penalty in the first five minutes of extra time to give Madrid a lead they would not relinquish. But, as dramatic comebacks against Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea have already shown in this season's competition, Madrid are never to be counted out.

Real Madrid in final after Rodrygo and Karim Benzema stun ... (The Guardian)

Manchester City were heading to the Champions League final after Riyad Mahrez's strike but two late goals from Rodrygo then Karim Benzema's extra-time ...

It is all a part of the show, all a part of what City had to tame. It was Bernardo Silva who played the final pass, teasing it into the path of the onrushing Mahrez, who had been peripheral up until that point. Foden drew a diving save out of Courtois with a header at the end of the first period of extra time but the broad answer was no. It was a tired challenge from Rúben Dias on Karim Benzema, who had nipped in front of the City defender and on to a low Rodrygo cross – an obvious penalty. Benzema had kept Real in the tie at the end of the first-leg with an ice-in-the-veins panenka. It was the way that the footballing gods, with whom Real appear to have a deal with options, tormented them.

Match report as Real Madrid produce one of the most memorable comebacks to beat Manchester City and reach the Champions League final; Rodrygo scored twice ...

If that had happened, City might have been narrow favourites to beat Liverpool in Paris, just as they are to win the Premier League. If… That is a thought that will be far away in the Spanish capital but will need to return quickly. Instead, Guardiola must lift his players, refocus them in the knowledge that the trophy that has again eluded them - the one they craved - is gone for another year. Another chance missed when he appeared to have a team capable of winning this Champions League, ending his own 11-year wait for the biggest prize in European club football. He had surprised some by asking Ilkay Gundogan to do Rodri's job in the following year's final. They put a lot of players in the box, with [Eder] Militao, Rodrygo, Vinicius, Benzema and they put in crosses and scored two goals. He had tweaked the system and been eliminated by Lyon in 2020. We found our tempo and our game and the players were comfortable. In the first half, we did not have game, we were not good enough. If the ball had ricocheted back off Phil Foden at a slightly different angle for the first chance. After we scored the goal we were better. When we are able to equalise we had a psychological advantage in extra time.

Real Madrid stun Man City, Rodrygo the hero, Guardiola's side melt ... (ESPN)

Real Madrid will face Liverpool in the Champions League final after a dramatic night at the Bernabeu during which Manchester City were just minutes from ...

They were lucky the tie even made it to extra time after Ederson was called on to make another save before the end of stoppage time. The dramatic brace also made history, with Rodrygo the first player in tournament history to score twice after the 90th minute of a knockout round game.) With Real Madrid needing two goals to force extra time, Rodrygo, on as a 68th-minute substitute, scored what looked like a consolation from Karim Benzema's cross in the 90th minute but less than 60 seconds later, headed in another to make it 2-1 on the night and 5-5 on aggregate. City were in control for the most of the night until Real Madrid's late fight-back, and could have extended their lead before Rodrygo's first goal if Jack Grealish (a second-half substitute) had taken one of two chances. This might in fact top them all. The Spanish side seemed set for a rather meek exit until some scarcely believable drama in stoppage time.

Real Madrid vs. Manchester City: Where does this Champions ... (CBSSports.com)

It was another magical night in the greatest club competition in the world -- the UEFA Champions League. Manchester City looked to be cruising into the UCL ...

The final in Istanbul is one of the most iconic soccer matches in history, one that I remember vividly. But in terms of the most clutch comeback, this is up there with any two-leg affair in the competition's history considering they needed two goals in added time to just force extra time. Real may not always be the most convincing team on the field, but there is no denying the result and what just they just pulled off. But this game was just bonkers, with Milan taking the lead a minute in through Maldini. It was 3-0 by the half with an Hernan Crespo double, the last goal coming in the 44th minute to surely end any hope of a comeback. PSG conceded four times in the second half and three times after the 88th minute. But it was Steven Gerrard, Vladimir Smicer an Xabi Alonso off his own missed penalty kick, tapping in the rebound, drawing level with three goals in seven minutes. Sure, it wasn't via a crazy amount of goals, and not having the away goals rule anymore added to the intrigue and belief that Real were still in it. A 3-0 win in the first leg at Camp Nou seemed like more than enough to advance after 90 minutes at Anfield. In all honesty, a 3-0 win for the Reds would have been a shock, so 4-0? AC Milan crushed Deportivo La Coruna 4-1 in the first leg, and there was no way a team featuring the likes of Dida, Cafu, Paolo Maldini, Andriy Shevchenko and arguably the world's top young talent Kaka, were going to blow this. You can argue it was the most improbable comeback because in the others below, there was plenty of time to pull it off -- maybe a half or an entire game. Looking back through the years of this historic competition, where does Wednesday's this jaw-dropping second-half comeback (or collapse, depending on your rooting interest) rank? Craving even more coverage of the world's game?

Pep Guardiola explains Man City Champions League collapse vs. Real Madrid (Sporting News)

The Spaniard, in his sixth season with the club, suffered yet another dose of European disaster as City was stunned by a late Real Madrid comeback in the decisive second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu.

It's normal, it's the semifinal, the players they feel the pressure, they want to do it. "It's not like you say in the last 10 minutes they attack and attack and you suffer. They put a lot of players in the box and they score two goals." We found our tempo, the players were comfortable on the pitch. "We were close but football is unpredictable," Guardiola said to BT Sport after the loss. "They scored goals in the last minutes.
