Real Madrid supporters who left the Bernabeu just before the team’s epic comeback against Manchester City were left with huge regrets.
After Riyad Mahrez’s 73rd-minute strike placed City 5-3 ahead on aggregate, it looked that they had clinched their spot in the 2021-22 Champions League final.
Some Madrid fans left the Bernabeu early, assuming the game was over, before hurrying back after seeing their fellow fans erupt in joy.
Rodrygo scored a spectacular late brace to seal one of the most remarkable comebacks in Champions League history.
Real Madrid appeared to be dead and buried, but you can never count out the competition’s most successful team.
Rodrygo’s goals forced the semi-final to extra time, where Karim Benzema – who else? – netted the game-winning penalty to set up a thrilling Champions League final versus Liverpool.
