There was bad luck, as Jack Grillish set out after 30 minutes, after playing in a man with a point to prove his manager.
Real can smell nerves and anxiety on the field and outside. The Jude Pellingham Prize winner at the time of an inevitable feeling, as the shrinking minds of the city led to errors. The penalty came from a distance, as the England talisman turned into the home goalkeeper, Erzon's wrong goalkeeper from his land after Vinicius Junior hit him.
Vinicius Junior, it is understood to be a pre -match banner, enjoy the moment and enjoy the real Real victory celebrations. The perfect answer.
Real Madrid was running, well, Real Madrid. Nothing was settled against them until it hit the final whistle.
Holders led this game only for 90 seconds. It is important for them, and perhaps fatal for Manchester City, that was for the final 90 seconds.

It was completely against playing the game when the attacker recovered the city's progress, which he occupied until the late REAL.
City may yet challenge the possibilities in Madrid, but what may continue this season to carry everything that ends with the afternoon, a wonderful team that reaches the end of the road.
