Real Madrid's recent match against Manchester City showcased their resilience, culminating in a dramatic comeback from a 2-1 deficit to a 3-2 victory, highlighted by a last-minute goal from Jude Bellingham. This match marked a significant milestone as it was the first time they defeated City without penalties at the Etihad, breaking a long-standing pattern of disappointing outcomes. Despite a shaky performance earlier in the season, Madrid displayed newfound strength, suggesting a shift in their trajectory as they aim to reclaim glory in European football.
"When the final whistle went, they were 3-2 up, the winner scored in the 92nd minute, Jude Bellingham standing there, arms wide before them all."
"This match had become a clasico, Carlo Ancelotti had said, and it had a classic ending. Seen this one before."
"This time, they met in the playoff round, punishment for how bad they had been in the league phase; it was harder to imagine the same outcome this season."
"Madrid arrived in Manchester having struggled against the very best this season... winless against Athletic and Liverpool and in four matches against Atletico Madrid and Barcelona."
