Bellingham Strikes Late for Real Madrid Win at Man City

Manchester, 12 Feb (ONA) --- Jude Bellingham struck in stoppage time to give Real Madrid a 3-2 victory in its Champions League playoff against Manchester City.

Bellingham sealed a stunning comeback for holder Madrid in the first leg at the Etihad Stadium after City had led 2-1 late on.

Former City academy player Brahim Diaz had levelled the game at 2-2 in the 86th minute before Bellingham's late winner silenced the home crowd, the Spanish MARCA newspaper reported.

City had looked like taking a lead into the second leg at the Bernabeu next week after two goals from Erling Haaland.

His penalty in the 80th had given City the edge after Kylian Mbappe had canceled out the Norwegian's first half goal after the break.
