REAL MADRID STRIKE LATE (AGAIN) TO STUN MAN CITY IN ANOTHER UCL THRILLER
Jude Bellingham struck a stoppage-time winner as Real Madrid came from behind to triumph 3-2 at Manchester City in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League play-off at the Etihad Stadium.
Pep Guardiola’s Citizens took the lead through Erling Haaland’s clinical first-half strike and then regained the advantage from the penalty spot when the Norwegian doubled his tally 10 minutes from time.
Real had levelled following the interval through Kylian Mbappe’s miscued volley, but looked like they would be rueing missing a plethora of chances until the home team’s nasty habit of letting a lead slip reared its head once again.
Former City starlet, Brahim Diaz came off the bench to fire in a rebound to level four minutes from time, before Bellingham tapped in Vinicius Jr’s lob over Ederson to snatch victory right at the death.
Next up, Man City host Newcastle in the Premier League on Saturday prior to heading to Spain for the second leg of this play-off on Wednesday, February 19.
Real travel to Osasuna on Saturday before looking to finish the job on home turf and secure a spot in the Last 16.
