Real to face Liverpool after stunning City

Real Madrid came up with an astonishing late comeback against Manchester City to set up a Champions League final against Liverpool, after winning 3-1 setting an aggregate of 6-5.

Karim Benzema's extra-time penalty winner gave Madrid an incredible victory as the 13-time winners were trailing 5-3 on aggregate heading into the 90th minute at the Bernabeu.

Riyad Mahrez had given City the lead at the 70^thminute, but two goals in two minutes from substitute Rodrygo dramatically made it 2-1 to send the tie to extra-time.

Real Madrid’s historic comeback was then complete in the fifth minute of extra-time, as Benzema scored a penalty after being brought down by Ruben Dias.

City came close to forcing a penalty shootout through Fernandinho at the end of the first half of extra-time, as the Premier League leaders missed out on making it back-to-back Champions League finals.

Real Madrid reached their first Champions League final since 2018 when they beat Liverpool 3-1 and Jurgen Klopp's side will now be looking for revenge against the Spanish giants in Paris on May 28^th.

Real boss Carlo Ancelotti is on course to make history as he looks to become the first manager to win the competition four times.
