If anyone tries to understand the mystery surrounding the Santiago Bernabeu and the horror felt by the rival teams on the big European nights, they will end up in a dead end.
And this is what happened yesterday to Manchester City, whose players collapsed in two minutes and lost their focus against the young Brazilian Rodrigo, who participated in the 75th minute.
While the "Citizens" were preparing to celebrate qualifying for the final, Rodrygo made a decision to carry the team on his back and implement "Remontada" and scored two goals in the 90th and 91st minutes.
A video posted by Real Madrid TV before the match claimed that the stadium "on certain nights, the walls come alive".

Rodrygo's first miracle came in the 90th minute, after a cross pass from Eduardo Camavinga to the far post to be answered by Karim Benzema in an almost impossible way, and it was difficult to think that he would be able to pass the ball perfectly, and Rodrygo was able to slip between a forest of Man City players and precede goalkeeper Ederson He scores the first goal.
