Manchester City's Champions League Journey Ends in Heartbreaking Penalty Shootout Loss
Real Madrid Emerge Victorious in Epic Semi-Final Clash
Unrivaled Haaland's Goal Not Enough as City Fall Short
Manchester City's reign as European champions came to an end in heartbreaking fashion on Tuesday night as they suffered a 4-3 penalty shootout defeat to Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League.
Despite taking an early lead through Riyad Mahrez, City were ultimately undone by Karim Benzema's equalizer and Real Madrid's clinical penalty-taking.
Pep Guardiola's side, who led the Premier League and were still in contention for the FA Cup, were left to rue missed opportunities as they were denied a place in their first Champions League final since 2021.
The game was a tense and tightly contested affair, with both teams having chances to win it in regulation time.
However, it was Real Madrid who emerged victorious in the end, thanks to their superior penalty-taking ability.
The result leaves Manchester City to focus on their remaining domestic objectives, while Real Madrid will now face Liverpool in the final on May 28th.
