Heineken UCL Special: Can Real Madrid Prevent A Second Consecutive All English Final?

By Daily Sports Nigeria on May 4, 2022

With Liverpool’s victory over Villarreal on Tuesday night, another La Liga vs Premier League clash unfolds tonight as Real Madrid host Manchester City at the Bernabue hoping to stop an all English Champions League final for the second year running following one of the most extraordinary semi-final first-leg ties in recent memory.

Pep Guardiola’s side edged an astonishing battle 4-3 at the Etihad Stadium, but their hosts are no strangers to stunning European comebacks in the Spanish capital.

The confidence, cheek and panache to produce a panenka penalty in the semi-finals of the Champions League typified the barnstorming season Karim Benzema is currently enjoying for the newly-crowned La Liga champions, who were indebted to their two star forwards at the Etihad in the first leg and will be banking on him once again to see them through.

Benzema’s brace either side of Vinicius Junior’s dazzling run and finish has kept the tie alive for a Real side whose defence was also breached at will by the Citizens, who struck four times themselves through Bernardo Silva, Gabriel Jesus, Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden on the night.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side quickly dusted off their shooting boots to hit Espanyol for four without reply and confirm their status as La Liga champions with four games to spare at the weekend, and a domestic and European double would certainly send a reminder to the footballing world of their long-standing continental dominance.
