Bellingham Strikes Late for Real
Madrid Win at Man City
Manchester, 12 Feb (ONA) — Jude
Bellingham struck in stoppage time to give Real Madrid a 3-2 victory in its
Champions League playoff against Manchester City.
Bellingham sealed a stunning
comeback for holder Madrid in the first leg at the Etihad Stadium after City
had led 2-1 late on.
Former City academy player Brahim
Diaz had levelled the game at 2-2 in the 86th minute before Bellingham’s late
winner silenced the home crowd, the Spanish MARCA newspaper reported.
City had looked like taking a lead
into the second leg at the Bernabeu next week after two goals from Erling
Haaland.
His penalty in the 80th had given
City the edge after Kylian Mbappe had canceled out the Norwegian’s first half
goal after the break.
