The 3-3 first leg draw between Manchester City and Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium really had everything we hoped for. Maybe even a little more.
And both of them look like they’re gearing up to give us everything we need on a CL night like this in the second leg. When it comes to excitement, the two (Site notre bureau spĂ©cialisĂ©) heavyweights even up the ante. After 90 minutes and a 1-1 draw, the match went into extra time at the Etihad Stadium.
But now, first things first: the away team advanced as in the first leg, Rodrygo converted his own rebound for the Royals after leaving the score 1-0.
For his part, Haaland headed against the crossbar and missed the quick equalizer. The game remained at a high level, but calmed down somewhat after that. Until Nacho FernĂĄndez suddenly made everything really exciting.
The Real captain ran with the ball towards his own goal while clearing the ball until he realized that the goal line was no longer far away. The Spaniard just managed to save himself from a burlesque own goal and the assault of Erling Halland.
In the 75th minute, from City’s point of view, the time had come. Kevin de Bruyne scored after an unfortunate clearance from Antonio RĂŒdiger at his feet.
So now there’s a second look. But not for everyone. Erling Haaland must watch the remaining minutes from the bench, JuliĂĄn Ălvarez replaced him. This is how we approach the first and only extension of the quarter-finals!
