Manchester City staged a stunning comeback at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday night, beating Real Madrid 2-1 to secure a 4-2 aggregate victory and progress to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Gabriel Jesus headed City into the lead after 73 minutes, and Kevin De Bruyne converted a penalty three minutes later to give the visitors a crucial away win. Real Madrid had taken the lead through Karim Benzema in the first half, but they were unable to hold on for the victory.
The result will be a huge blow to Real Madrid, who were looking to reach the quarter-finals for the first time since 2018. It is also a major boost for Manchester City, who are now one of the favorites to win the competition.
Pep Guardiola's side will now face Lyon in the quarter-finals, with the first leg taking place at the Etihad Stadium on August 12.
