Madrid Stuns City with Second-Half Comeback
Manchester City emerged victorious in a seven-goal thriller against Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final clash. The Citizens secured a slender 4-3 lead heading into the second leg at the Bernabeu.
Kevin De Bruyne and Gabriel Jesus gave City a commanding 2-0 lead within 11 minutes. However, Rodrygo's dramatic late double and Karim Benzema's extra-time penalty turned the tide in Madrid's favor.
Despite their late collapse, City remained resilient and grabbed the all-important winning goal through Phil Foden in the 90th minute. However, the narrow margin leaves the tie finely poised ahead of the return leg in Madrid.
The Bernabeu clash on May 4th promises to be an electrifying affair as Real Madrid seeks to overturn the deficit and reach the Champions League final once again.
