UCL: Shearer Believes Tie “Almost Over” as Real Madrid Stuns Manchester City

1 Min Read

Newcastle legend, Alan Shearer, has stated that the Champions League knockout playoff between Manchester City and Real Madrid “is almost over” following a dramatic match at Etihad Stadium. Manchester City, led by Erling Haaland’s two goals, were ahead 2-1, but the game took a stunning turn in the final moments.

Former City player, Brahim Diaz, leveled the score, and Jude Bellingham scored a last-minute goal, resulting in a 3-2 victory for Real Madrid. The result gives the LaLiga giants a slim advantage heading into the second leg.

Shearer, analyzing the game, expressed his belief that Real Madrid now has the tie firmly under control. He remarked, “You’d still have hope at 2-2. But it will be an absolute miracle if Real Madrid don’t go through now. Manchester City’s confidence will be absolutely shattered. It’s almost over – not quite over but almost.”

The winner of this tie will advance to the Round of 16 in this season’s Champions League competition.
