'Grateful' Alonso Feels Real Madrid Stars' Support Amid Slump
Manchester City scored twice in the final 10 minutes of the first half to overturn a deficit and secure a 2-1 win, boosting their Champions League campaign.
- At the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, Manchester City beat Real Madrid 2-1 on Wednesday, with both goals in the final 10 minutes of the first half.
- Manchester City needed a response after last month's shock loss to Bayer Leverkusen, while Real Madrid arrived under pressure after Saturday's dismal defeat, risking Xabi Alonso's job.
- Rodrygo opened the scoring by converting a Jude Bellingham pass for his first goal in 32 matches, before Nico O'Reilly equalised after Thibaut Courtois spilled Joško Gvardiol's header.
- Alonso's players publicly backed him, Raul Asencio said the team is with Alonso `100 percent`, and Manchester City sit fourth on 13 points in the Champions League group with two games remaining.
- VAR decisions shaped the match as it overturned an early penalty on Vinicius Junior and confirmed Manchester City's late spot-kick, while Erling Haaland reached his 51st Champions League goal.
