"Los Blancos' Brazilian forward had ended a 32-game goal drought - a club record - to give under-pressure Xabi Alonso's men the advantage after 28 minutes. After a flowing move from the hosts, Jude Bellingham found Rodrygo on the edge of the box and the 24-year-old, whose future in the Spanish capital has long been the subject of much debate, beat O'Reilly with his first touch before firing past Gianluigi Donnarumma."
"However, they were pegged back minutes after going ahead when O'Reilly prodded in from point-blank range after Thibaut Courtois could only parry Josko Gvardiol's header from a corner. Then, shortly before the break, Haaland was wrestled to the ground by Antonio Rudiger, leaving the referee with little option but to award the spok-kick after a quick VAR review. The Norwegian picked himself up to send Courtois the wrong way and complete the City comeback."
Erling Haaland scored his 34th goal for club and country this season as Manchester City came from behind to take a first-half lead against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu. Rodrygo opened the scoring after 28 minutes, ending a 32-game goal drought, following a Jude Bellingham assist. Nico O'Reilly equalised from close range after Thibaut Courtois only parried Josko Gvardiol's header from a corner. Shortly before half-time Antonio Rudiger wrestled Haaland to the ground and, after a quick VAR review, the referee awarded a penalty. Haaland converted from the spot, sending Courtois the wrong way. A City victory would move them into the top four while Real could drop out of the automatic qualification spots.
