⏱️The 14 minutes of madness that destroyed Manchester City's world.

@TelegraphDucker breaks down the key moments in Real Madrid's stunning comeback which dumped City out of the #ChampionsLeague

Thread👇🧵
telegraph.co.uk/football/2022/…
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.

✍️ From smart suits to a better bus — how Fabio Paratici helped spark a Tottenham revolution.

'A confrontational and fiery figure, Paratici commands respect but will not always win popularity contests inside Tottenham' ⤵️

'It will not be hard to spot the Tottenham team bus when it pulls into Stamford Bridge for Sunday’s London derby' writes @Matt_Law_DT.

From the coach - emblazoned with the club’s crest and name - will spill Antonio Conte and managing director of football Fabio Paratici...
🕴️'Both will be dressed in sharp club suits.'

'The bus and suits were both introduced by Paratici last summer and represent a gradual change of culture at Spurs since his appointment'

🗣️"Youse are f------ idiots"

20 years since it happened, @TelegraphSport presents the never-before-heard audio of one of Sir Alex Ferguson’s most famous outbursts

@SamWallaceTel reveals how it felt to be in the room 👇

I had assumed the details of that five-minute press conference were lost forever, writes @SamWallaceTel

But a recent house-move turned up a box of micro-cassette tapes.

There, on the side of one, was a memorandum scribbled from 20 years ago: “Fergie goes mad”
📼The outburst in question was directed towards a small group of reporters at the Manchester United’s Carrington training ground.

It spawned one of Fergie’s most oft-quoted lines
