Courtois did not react: Bernardo Silva got Manchester City 4-2 vs. Real Madrid | VIDEO

In a doubt with the referee. Bernardo Silva scored the fourth goal for Manchester City vs. Real Madrid for the first leg of the Champions League semifinal.

15 minutes from time, Kroos brought down Zinchenko at the edge of the area, the referee let go, Bernardo Silva picked up the ball and put it in a square. Is Real Madrid dead? He still had one life left.

In a lateral foul, Laporte touched the ball with one hand. Clear penalty, the last miracle, but not the last wonder. Benzema, who had just missed two penalties in Pamplona against Osasuna, raised the entire stadium by pushing the ball into the net with a ‘Panenka’. Amazing. Guardiola sat in a fridge. He couldn’t believe what had happened.

His City had subdued Real Madrid in every way possible. And still he didn’t bring it down. Precisely because this is Real Madrid.

Manchester City vs. Real Madrid: ‘citizen’ victory

Manchester City took the lead to reach the Champions League final by beating Real Madrid 4-3, who is still in contention with a brace from Karim Benzema, this Tuesday in the first leg of the semi-finals of the continental tournament.

The English team went ahead with goals from Kevin de Bruyne with a header (2), Gabriel Jesús (11), Phil Foden (53) and Bernardo Silva (74), but Karim Benzema’s brace (11) and Vinicius’ goal (55), allow Real Madrid to leave Manchester alive.

The Franco-Brazilian connection allows Real Madrid to maintain hope, which was slow to enter the match, drowned out by pressure from City.
