Madrid will now look ahead to the Champions League final against Liverpool on May 28 at the Stade de France. Los Blancos are next in action against Atletico Madrid on Sunday in the Madrid derby on the road. City have to pick themselves up after losing in such dramatic fashion with their Premier League title hopes still in the balance. They play Newcastle at home on Sunday.
Real Madrid are through to the Champions League final after producing one of the most dramatic comebacks in the history of the competition, defeating Manchester City 3-1 on the night and 6-5 on aggregate. City were seemingly on their way to the final to face Liverpool after Riyad Mahrez had fired them in front with a stunning strike. Rodrygo then turned the tie on its head in the 90th minute, first with a close-range finish to give Madrid hope. He then rose highest in the box to plant a header away from Ederson to level the tie one minute later to send the contest into extra-time.
Karim Benzema then came to the fore to score the decisive goal by winning and then converting a penalty after being fouled by Ruben Dias. City were unable to fire back, allowing Carlo Ancelotti and his team to progress to take on Liverpool in a rematch of the 2018 Champions League final.
