Real Madrid did what it always seems to do in the Champions League and snatched victory from the jaws of defeat against Manchester City in the first-leg of its playoff knockout tie on Tuesday. An 80th-minute penalty converted by Erling Haaland looked to have given City a 2-1 win at the Etihad Stadium, but two late goals from Madrid swung the tie in their favor heading into the second leg at the Santiago Bernabéu in the Spanish capital on February 19. It was England international Jude Bellingham who once again saved the day for Los Blancos, providing the 92nd minute winner in stoppage time with almost the last kick of the game. “It was a complete performance by the team from an attacking point of view, and we showed that with the right levels of commitment, we can do anything,” Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti said after the win. “They all showed great commitment today and the quality of this team is never in doubt. This is the way forward.” Both sides have struggled with persistent issues – particularly injuries – this season, evident from the fact that both juggernauts need this playoff to reach the knockout stages of the Champions League.
