Real Madrid's Unforgettable Champions League Comebacks

Trailing 4-3 on aggregate, Real Madrid faced the daunting task of overturning a one-goal deficit in the second leg of the 2022 Champions League semi-final against Manchester City. After a goalless first half, Rodrygo scored twice in the 90th and 91st minutes to send the match into extra time. Karim Benzema's penalty in extra time secured a 3-1 victory on the night and a remarkable 6-5 aggregate win.

In the 2018-19 season, Real Madrid faced Wolfsberger AC in the round of 32 of the Europa League. After losing 3-0 in Austria, Real Madrid seemed on the verge of elimination. However, three goals in the first 45 minutes at the Bernabeu gave them hope. Lucas Vazquez's goal in the 81st minute completed a stunning 4-3 comeback.

Real Madrid's 3-0 win over Sevilla in the 2017-18 UEFA Super Cup marked their fourth consecutive victory in the competition. Sevilla took an early lead, but Marco Asensio equalized in the 21st minute. Sergio Ramos headed in a goal in the 93rd minute and Benzema secured the win in extra time.

The 2014 Champions League final was an unforgettable match between Real Madrid and their city rivals Atletico Madrid. Sergio Ramos' header in the 93rd minute forced extra time and Gareth Bale and Marcelo scored in the 110th and 118th minutes to secure a dramatic 4-1 victory.

In the 2022 Champions League final, Real Madrid faced Liverpool in a rematch of the 2018 final. Despite trailing 2-0 at halftime, Real Madrid rallied in the second half. Vinicius Jr. pulled one back in the 59th minute and Benzema equalized in the 80th minute. Courtois's heroic performance in goal kept Liverpool at bay and Madrid held on to win 1-0.
