Manchester City secured a massive 2-1 victory over Real Madrid in last night’s UEFA Champions League clash at the Santiago Bernabéu, handing the Spanish giants their second consecutive home defeat and leaving fans visibly furious at full-time. The Premier League champions delivered a mature, disciplined performance, capitalising on defensive lapses and controlling key moments of the match.
City struck first through a well-worked move that sliced through Madrid’s midfield, before adding a second early in the second half. Real Madrid responded with a late goal to keep the tie alive, but the hosts failed to convert several chances that could have changed the momentum. As the final whistle blew, loud boos echoed around the Bernabéu, reflecting the supporters’ frustration with the team’s dip in form and the mounting pressure in Europe.
One of the most emotional figures on the pitch after the defeat was Jude Bellingham, who appeared devastated as he walked off. The young midfielder has been a standout performer for Madrid this season since he has come on from his long injury, but the weight of the occasion seemed heavy after a match in which the team struggled to impose itself.
