In the early morning of May 5, Real Madrid defeated Manchester City 3-1 at the Bernabeu to reverse the opponents with an aggregate score of 6-5 to advance to the Champions League final of this season. This is the fifth time that Real Madrid have reached the final in nearly 9 years, and it is also the 17th time in history to reach the Champions League final, and manager Carlo Ancelotti will also wash away the shame of his "king of reversals".
This promotion is thrilling for Real Madrid. They fell behind 3-0 on the road in the first leg, and after pulling back a goal, they were taken by Manchester City, but Real Madrid, who were 1-4 behind, broke out with amazing strength, scoring two goals in the last 10 minutes of the first leg.
The second leg was also Manchester City's first goal, Mahrez's goal in the 72nd minute made Real Madrid desperate for a while, but it was in the final moments of the game that Rodrigo scored two goals in a row, miraculously bringing the team into extra time, in which Benzema sealed his throat, the total score was 3-1, and Real Madrid completed the reversal.
Ancelotti may not have expected that the keyword for Real Madrid's final trip is "reversal". In addition to this round, the previous two rounds of Real Madrid are also reversed to advance. In the round of 16, Real Madrid played Paris Saint-Germain, the first leg real madrid lost 0-1, and in the second leg, Benzema scored a hat-trick to complete the reversal.
In the quarter-finals, Real Madrid led Chelsea 3-1 in the first leg, but in the second leg they conceded three goals in the first 75 minutes, but Rodrigo scored a goal at a crucial moment to bring the game into extra time. This scene is first reversed, and then reversed, which is also thrilling.
Ancelotti has previously been the famous "reverse back wall" of the Champions League, and the matches he has been reversed have been particularly memorable twice, the first of which was naturally the "Miracle of Istanbul" in 2005, when he led AC Milan to a three-goal tie by Liverpool in a 3-0 lead and was then beaten by his opponents in a penalty shootout.
The other was in the 2003-04 season, when AC Milan, coached by Ancelotti, defeated A Coruña 4-1 in the first leg, but "Super Raco" returned to the Riazor Stadium to complete a 4-0 comeback. Now that the wind and water are turning, Ancelotti's Real Madrid has become the king of reversals, facing super giants such as Paris, Chelsea and Manchester City in a row, but it is really surprising that they have to admire the tenacity and strength of this Real Madrid under the tutelage of An Shuai.
Interestingly, the final opponent of Real Madrid this time is Liverpool, which is the "old enemy" who left a shame on Ancelotti, although Ancelotti led Milan to defeat the opponent 2-1 in 2007 to win the championship has been revenge, but there is no reversal of the victory, always lack of a taste of resentment. And now the odds of winning the title Liverpool are still ahead of Real Madrid, Liverpool won the championship odds are 1 to 1.5, Real Madrid is 1 to 2.6, this is the first time in nearly 24 years that Real Madrid has reached the final after winning the odds than the opponent (the last final to win the odds is lower than the opponent or against Juventus in 1998), this time, can Ancelotti complete the reversal?
