Real leads in the second leg. Rodrygo is a hero
The goal came in the 12th minute. The whole action started with a long pass from Dani Carvajal. Then Jude Bellingham received the ball brilliantly and sent it to Fede Valverde. After a while, he passed the ball to Vinicius Junior on the right wing.
The Brazilian made a magic move with the ball and easily deceived Waker in the penalty area, then surprised the Manchester defense. He passed a flat cross to the unattended Rodrygo. The Brazilian immediately took a shot, but the goalkeeper made an effective save. However, he had no chance with the follow-up.
It was Rodrygo’s second goal in this year’s quarterfinals. He also scored in the 14th minute against Santiago Bernabeu. It was also the Brazilian’s fifth goal in this edition of the Champions League.
Thus, Real is leading 1-0 against Manchester after the first half, although the rivals are pressing quite hard. Among others, Real had a great opportunity. Erling Haaland hit the crossbar. The second game heralds incredible emotions.
