Real Madrid`s late comeback against Manchester City featured goals from Haaland, Mbappe, Díaz, and Bellingham in a thrilling Champions League match.

Real Madrid pulled off a thrilling comeback against Manchester City in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League matchup at the Etihad Stadium. Erling Haaland opened the scoring for Manchester City, giving them an early advantage. However, Real Madrid responded with resilience, as Kylian Mbappe equalized just 15 minutes into the second half.

Haaland managed to restore Manchester City`s lead in the 80th minute, but the drama didn`t end there. Late goals from Brahim Díaz and Jude Bellingham turned the tide, securing a 3-2 victory for Real Madrid. This match was particularly charged, especially after Manchester City fans taunted Vinicius Junior with a banner, a move that Carlo Ancelotti suggested may have spurred the player to elevate his performance.

Meanwhile, in the Premier League, Manchester City is projected to finish sixth, with a record of 19 wins, 11 draws, and 8 losses, totaling 68 points.
