[JUST IN] UCL: Madrid stun City with late winner in Champions League thriller

Real Madrid, on Tuesday, secured a dramatic 3-2 victory over Manchester City in the Champions League Knockout Round Play-offs, with Jude Bellingham netting a stoppage-time winner to seal the win at the Etihad Stadium.

The home side took the lead in the 19th minute through Erling Haaland, who converted an assist from Joško Gvardiol to put City ahead. Pep Guardiola’s men maintained their advantage going into halftime, but Real Madrid responded strongly after the break.

In the 60th minute, Kylian Mbappé equalised for Los Blancos, finishing off an assist from Dani Ceballos to make it 1-1.

City regained the lead in the 80th minute when Haaland converted from the penalty spot, restoring their advantage at 2-1.

However, the Spanish giants staged a late comeback, with Brahim Díaz levelling the score in the 86th minute after being set up by Vinícius Junior.

Just when it seemed the match was heading towards extra time, Bellingham found the net in the second minute of stoppage time, again assisted by Vinícius, to complete Madrid’s turnaround and secure a 3-2 victory.
