Real Madrid snatched their ticket to the Champions League final after a completely unreal soccer night against Manchester City.
Leading 1-0 after an opener from Riyad Mahrez (73rd), Carlo Ancelotti’s men completely reversed the game, first thanks to a double from Rodrygo (90th, 90 + 1) then a goal on the shot penalty that caused and converted by Karim Benzema in extra time (95th).
A new work that commands the admiration of all football lovers.
I myself experienced a very emotional night, let go of my joy and my disbelief to see this Real Madrid, far from being a favorite at the start of the competition, capable of bringing Pep Guardiola’s staff to their knees in these situations.
As an admirer of the Madrid club since the days of Zinedine Zidane’s galactics, I must say that I have rarely experienced such an epic game ending from the Merengues.
However, twice this team has shown us the strength of character living here this season.
First against Paris Saint-Germain in the round of 16, then against Chelsea in the quarters, without having to be sparkling, but with the same stunning scenery.
Furthermore, on Wednesday, in the 88th minute, I was fully convinced that the step this time was too high against a Manchester City that seemed until then to have full control of the meeting, at a Santiago-Bernabéu stadium.
However, this Real is immortal this season. In any case, that’s the impression it seems to give.
Led by a resilient Karim Benzema, the people of Madrid have shown the world the values held by this great club: don’t give up and always believe in it, until the end, until the end.
So Carlo Ancelotti’s men will find Liverpool in the final, who qualified on Tuesday against the Spaniards of Villarreal by a score of 3-2 (5-2 combined).
A dream conference that could allow the Reds to avenge their last loss in 2018.
Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah also launched a bout on his Twitter account after Real’s victory in the semi-finals. We have a score that needs to be fixedwritten by Egyptian international.
Something that will water our mouths for the long -awaited confrontation at the Stade de France on May 28th.
