Real Madrid exacted revenge on Manchester City to reach the Champions League semi-finals 4-3 on penalties after withstanding a barrage at the Etihad on Wednesday, and will face Bayern Munich in the last four after the German giants beat Arsenal 3-2 on aggregate.

Rodrygo gave Real early lead before Kevin De Bruyne hit back for the holders to leave the match level at 1-1 on the night and 4-4 on aggregate.

But Andriy Lunin, Madrid’s improbable hero, stopped spot-kicks from Bernardo Silva and Mateo Kovacic, ending City’s chances of winning the competition.

In an exciting first leg, the Ukrainian, who has filled in for the injured Thibaut Courtois this season, was somewhat to blame for City’s early lead, but he more than made up for it.

City had not lost at home in the Champions League since 2018 but the holders were held at bay by a heroic defensive effort by the 14-time European champions despite having 34 attempts on goal.

“It’s so difficult. They are continuously probing with the ball and move you around. Most teams would fall apart when City get on top of you but we stood up really well,” said Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham.

“Today it came down to mentality.”

Real Madrid stars clearly could not contain their emotions after defeating Man City
