The final phase of this year’s Champions League will be played in Lisbon, in a single venue shared by the eight survivors of the competition. There will be no Real Madrid, who lost last night at the Etihad Stadium against a superior Manchester City who took advantage of the first leg. That, and also two glaring mistakes from center Raphael Varane. His miscalculation was key in the actions of local goals. The first came early, when Sterling beat Courtois in the 9th minute.
The game went up for those of Zidane, who still tied in the half hour of play through Benzema, remaining one goal away from equalizing the tie. Yes, it was scored by Gabriel Jesus, already in the second half, taking advantage of a shot from Varane again. With the final 2-1, Real Madrid is eliminated from Europe in the round of 16 for the second consecutive season.
