Real Madrid snatches victory at the death

It is another instant classic between these two, as Bellingham’s 92nd-minute winner proves the difference. Despite being 2-1 up after 80 minutes, Madrid can dig deep to score two further goals in the space of six minutes.
After Lewis mishits a clearance, Vinicius Junior snaps onto it. He tries to lift the ball past an advancing Ederson but doesn’t quite get the line right.
But Bellingham races ahead to control the ball before steering it into an open net. Just a bonkers ending to what truly has been a bonkers match.
As they have been accustomed to doing on Champions League nights, the current champions show why they are not one to be trifled with, no matter the situation.
As he has done before, Bellingham stands tall to give his side a valuable 3-2 aggregate lead as the teams head back to Madrid for the second leg on February 19. City’s misfiring season continues as the players look on rather forlornly.
Real did have 20 total shots, so you could argue they deserved this result, but Guardiola will know inside he could have come away with the win.
