Real Madrid defeats Manchester City, to advance to the Champions League Final

Karim Benzema’s extra-time penalty lifted Real Madrid to a 3-1 victory over Manchester City in the second leg, setting up a Champions League final against Liverpool.

City appeared to be on course for a second consecutive final when Riyad Mahrez put them two goals up with 17 minutes remaining, but Rodrygo scored twice in the 90th and 91st minutes to force extra time.

Benzema calmly slotted home his 15th Champions League goal of the season from the penalty spot following a foul on him by Ruben Dias, advancing the 13-time European champions 6-5 on aggregate to the final in Paris on May 28.
