Real Madrid edges past Manchester City
Real Madrid eliminated Manchester City from the Champions League in the quarter-finals, sealing their victory with a 4-3 triumph in the penalty shootout after a 4-4 aggregate scoreline.
The first leg at Santiago Bernabeu ended in a thrilling 3-3 stalemate, while the return leg at the Etihad saw both teams locked in a 1-1 draw, leading to a tense penalty shootout.
Although Kevin De Bruyne’s equalizer nullified Rodrygo’s early goal, misses from the spot by Bernardo Silva and Mateo Kovacic proved costly for Manchester City. Real Madrid emerged victorious, securing their spot in the semi-finals, where they will face Bayern Munich.
