With injury time fast approaching, #ManchesterCity looked to be cruising into their second successive #ChampionsLeagueFinal

🔁But two missed chances and an incredible Real Madrid fightback turned the tie on its head

⏱️ 87 mins: Grealish chance No 1

City were leading 1-0 when substitute Jack Grealish was released down the left.

The most important goal of Grealish’s career seemed certain but, with extraordinary athleticism, Ferland Mendy managed to make a miraculous goal-line clearance

⏱️88 mins: Grealish chance No 2

Picking up the ball on the left again, Grealish ghosted into the penalty area.

Grealish drilled in a low, pinpoint shot only for Courtois to stick out a left foot and manage to divert the ball past the far post

⏱️90 mins: Rodrygo's first goal

Jumping high, Benzema steered a wonderfully controlled left foot pass into the path of the advancing Rodrygo, who reacted quicker than both Ederson and Ruben Dias to apply a deft finish with the outside of his right boot

⏱️90+1 mins: Rodrygo's second goal

Rodrygo darted ahead of a flat-footed Dias to power a stunning header into the top corner and become the first player in history to score twice in the 90th minute in a Champions League knockout tie

⏱️95 mins: Benzema's penalty

Real had rocked City twice. Could they do it for a third time?

➡️Behind for 178 minutes of this breathless semi-final, Real found themselves in front for the first time in the tie when Benzema scored from the penalty spot

🏟️The Bernabeu erupted. Guardiola, on the other hand, looked broken.

Real, the comeback kings of European football this season, had done it again.
