In the most complicated series of the Champions League quarterfinals, Real Madrid was present by conquering the Etihad Stadium after beating Manchester City for the first time, as a visitor. The meringues will face Bayern Munich on April 30.
In regulation time, the merengue team took the partial lead at 76′. Meanwhile, between 12′ and 76′, Pep Guardiola’s team remained insistently in Lunin’s six-yard box, through Kevin De Bruyne, Grealish and Bernardo, but they lacked effectiveness.
The departure of Grealish at 72′, and the incorporation of Jeremy Doku, became noticeable at 76′, with the assistance that came from the Belgian forward for his compatriot, De Bruyne, who sentenced the one-on-one to leave the aggregate 4-4. The legendary Champions League match that is repeated for another season between the citizens and the meringues only had to extend until overtime, due to the tie that neither of the two teams broke.
The 30 minutes of extra time, the city and Real Madrid were not enough to change the score and both went to the penalty shootout to define the second semi-finalist.
After the goals from Bellingham, Lucas Vásquez, Nacho and Rudiger, the meringues were confirmed for the semifinals where they will face Bayern Munich after the Germans eliminated Arsenal.
