Another inspiring come back for Real Madrid as they beat Manchester City 3-1 to qualify for the final of the champions league.
City were unable to capitalize on their advantage having beaten Madrid 4-3 at home in the first leg, and taking the lead with a goal from Riyad Mahrez in the 73rd minutes in the second leg at Santiago Bernabeu (Madrid's home).
All seemed settled to see City, who had a lead of 5-3 aggregate score, to qualify for the finals. But for the inspiring effort of substitute Rodrygo to score in the 90th and 91st minutes to the end of the game, to see the game lead into extra time.
The comeback was secured after Benzema had put the ball at the back of the net of Ederson through a penalty kick after he was fouled by Ruben Dias in the box.
Thibaut Courtois was excellent keeping City players shots from getting past the net.
Real Madrid will face Liverpool in the final of the Champions League.
