Karim Benzema won and converted a penalty for Real Madrid, which proved to be the winning goal for Los Blancos.
Real Madrid will face Liverpool in Paris in the final of the UCL after their dramatic late win against last year’s finalists Manchester City.
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 could not fire back, allowing Carlo Ancelotti and his team to progress to take on Liverpool in a rematch of the 2018 Champions League final.
