The semi-finals of the Champions League started with an incomprehensible show – Real Madrid’s defense was punched cheese, but the final was still left next week

Aiming for their first football championship league championship, Manchester City started the first semi-finals of their semi-finals at home like a storm. Real Madrid’s defense was completely windswept at the start of the match.

With less than 2 minutes played, the home team was awarded a 1 – 0 lead. Riyad Mahrez wandered from the edge of several Madrid players towards the center and gave the left foot a button center. A Belgian midfielder Kevin De Bruyne had risen to the top and pushed the ball into the net of his compatriot, the goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois’n alta.

After ten minutes, Manchester City were already in the lead. This time the opening goal scored by de Bruyne centered, Real’s topper David Alaba flew in the offensive attempt and the ball missed the City striker Gabriel to Jesus. The goal was a confusing three City players against two Real defenders.

Jesus, who shot four goals into Watford’s net in a Premier League match over the weekend, easily finished past Courtois. At this point, the match has two shots and two goals for Manchester City.

Even after that, City was much closer to scoring more than opening a Real Madrid goal. Until a less surprising 34-year-old veteran striker emerged Karim Benzema.

33 minutes into the game Ferland Mendy put the ball on a plate for him and instead of hitting it with his right foot it cannoned of his left shin wide of the goal. Benzema was the first to pass the ball and guided the ball with his left foot to the back corner.

Readings 2–1 took a break.

The second half started at least as fast.

John Stones a brass anchor that became an outboard kit due to an injury Fernandinho 53 minutes into the game, Real Madrid were awarded a penalty From Vinicius Junior. Fernandinho unleashed a swerving effort from the right that the visitors’ keeper did well to tip wide. Phil Foden was free and banged for Manchester City 3-1.

Just a couple of minutes from this was seen “revenge.” 21-year-old brass striker Vinicius Junior rudely deceived his compatriot, 36-year-old Fernandinho, in the midfield, pinched his goal to score and passed the goalkeeper Ederson. So the situation is 3–2 for Man City.

The game went head to head in a way that Manchester City games don’t usually see when Pep Guardiolan the crew wants to control the ball. At no point in the game, however, did the defense of the Madriders seem very certain.

74 minutes into the match Real’s Man Cityn de Bruynea viciously shoved another player from behind while going for a loose ball and was sent off the pitch with a red card. However, the referee allowed the game to continue. Bernardo Silva took the ball, turned, took a few steps and bombarded the magnificent shot to the front corner. City 4–2 lead.

And that’s not all. 80 minutes was in the game clock when the City topper Aymeric Laporte went carelessly to the center ball. The ball hit the raised hand and the referee Istvan Kovacs ordered the ball to a comma.

Rankema was shot by Benzema, who had missed as many as two penalties in the previous Spanish league match. The head of the French maestro did not feel dizzy: a Panenka striker, i.e. a loose lift in the middle of the goal under the top bar.

After that, no more paints were seen. The final score is 4-3. The final place will not be decided until next week in Madrid in the second round, but already the first round provided endless topics for discussion.

Man City held the ball, with a clear 60 percent of possession. Shots per goal were scored for City 6–5. Benzema rose to the top of the Champions League goal exchange as he has hit 14 hits this season. Bayern dropped in the quarterfinals Robert Lewandowski scored 13 goals.

– This was a major game. It was absolutely breathtaking. The pace of the game has been relentless. Get to the head from the first minute, told the BBC (you’re switching to another service) All-time goal scorer in the Premier League Alan Shearer.

– I’m speechless. We’ve seen just about everything in this game. With incredible skill and courage, Shearer said after Benzema had sunk the last hit of the match with a brazen penalty shootout.
