Jude Bellingham’s detention winner saw Real Madrid come twice from behind to defeat Manchester City 3-2 in their first game-off match in the Champions League.
Erling Haaland had seen winning the match at Etihad Stadium from the late penalty spot with his second night, restoring the lead after Kylian Mbappe had leveled in hours with a mistake hit by the mistake. But City crashed in the last moments.
Brahim Diaz scored with a shot for the first time in the attack against his former club before Beingham said the conclusion, joining the ball with the beaten goalkeeper after Vinicius Junior had robbed Rico Lewis and Lofted the ball over Ederson. cruel
Madrid will feel that they created more than enough to win it, but the result was harsh on Pep Guardiola’s side and leaves them more to do against European champions when meeting in Bernabeu for a country in 16 In recent years.
How did it split for the city
It was an exciting game. Madrid accumulated pressure early. Vinicius, greeted with a Rodri flag kissing the balloon d’or and withdrew throughout, crashed into the box by Eerson only for the offside flag to deny it. Nathan Aka produced a large block.
And then, enter Haaland. It was a wonderful pass by Jack Grealish, almost for his last act before leaving the injured. He found Josko Gdvardiol who faded down to finish Haaland. There was a long wait for VAR but the goal was. The city’s faith was flooded again.
There was still a long time since Vinicius and Manuel Akanji both hit the goal frame before the break, Haaland himself shortly after him. The city was in a heavyweight game, the question would always be if they were able to support it.
Mbappe’s draw, a full blow, shining the ball into the net with the wrong feet, was unfortunate. But City replied again thanks to Foden’s fast legs and Haaland’s coolness. It will hurt that they destroyed the lead for the second time.

For all the extraordinary determination of Madrid, both goals felt self-esteem, a result of possession of the city’s surrender instead of seeing it. Even then, Ederson could turn away from the goal. Lewis had to be stronger. After all, City will feel that they explode it.
There are 90 minutes to come. But while the Guardiola’s side remains sensitive to those dives, periods when they can accept in a quick row, this feels like a lot of time for this team than little. Madrid in control. The city’s hopes depend on a thread.

There is no chance for the city now
Paul Sports’ Paul Merson in Football Specialist:
“It was a case of two glowing mistakes by Man City.
“First, Ederson has the ball in his hands and his city is 2-1 up. He tries to highlight a goal blow and goes terribly wrong and goes straight to Beeingham.
“He chooses the right pass for Vinicius and his blow left Eerson before Brahim Diaz scores the return, I think Man City’s goalkeeper should do much better.
“Vinicius then simply gets before Rico Lewis and he is away with goal. He lifts it over the goalkeeper and the ball is going terribly wide, but Jude Beeingham follows it and scores.
“The old man Man has played a game of 90 to 95 minutes each week. They just can’t seem to do it now.
“I don’t know what it is, whether they just turn off or if it’s just an aging team. The older you get, the more tired you get and if you get tired the more mistakes you make.
“They just seemed to turn off.
“They did really well for many games. Of course, they rode their luck from time to time as you do against a quality side like Real Madrid.
“But they will be so disappointed. We’re not even in the middle of February yet and Man City is just playing for the FA Cup.
“I don’t give them a chance in the second game. I’ve seen enough in Real Madrid to know they can open Man City as a knife through butter.”

‘We used our opportunity at the end’
Real Madrid Jew Beeingham midfielder to Amazon Prime:
“It was a strange. We played some of our best football of the season and ended back.
“I think we were playing well and creating a lot. We were always safe throughout the game that something would fall for us.
“I don’t care what form they are City they are still an incredible team. Always is always complicated to play against them and we finally take the opportunity in the end.
“Always is always good to get a home -based lead and I’m sure the Bernabeu will come for us.
“It seems like there are raising and raising in these knockout games. It’s not just the game management, it’s tactical and it’s also psychological.”
