Real Madrid switch style to knock out Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, book place in Champions League semi-finals

Hindustan Times  

It could have been an all-English semi-final in one and a Spanish affair in another. Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham celebrates after winning the match Haaland was on Nacho early on Wednesday and had slid in to meet a Kevin de Bruyne delivery but Andriy Lunin, who would emerge Real Madrid’s hero in the tie-breaker, got there first and he had Antonio Rüdiger for cover. By then, over three hours of open play had failed to separate teams who drew 3-3 in Madrid and 1-1 in the return-leg; Rodrygo’s 12th minute goal being neutralised De Bruyne’s 76th minute strike. Head band off, arms crooked at the elbow, hands balled into fists, Modric broke the penalties’ team bonding ran like this was his first and not fourth successive Champions League semi-final. In front of the back four, Kroos kept close watch on De Bruyne, Rüdiger and Nacho again denied Haaland and Carvajal’s duels with Grealish and then Jeremy Doku provided an interesting sub-plot in this clash between the defending champions and those who, in Real manager Carlo Ancelotti’s words, always find a way.
