Real Madrid eliminated defending European champions Manchester City in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League quarterfinal clash on Wednesday, April 17, at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England.

Real Madrid star Jude Bellingham played a key role in the build-up to Rodrygo's opening goal in the 12th minute with a superb first touch and turn to maintain possession before the goal.

The 20-year-old later revealed that a special spectator was watching from the stands, seeing him for the first time in action for the Spanish giants.

"It's beautiful. My brother is here today, the first time he's seen me play for Madrid. I feel really proud about those kind of things," the England international said in the post-match interview.

His younger, 18-year-old brother, Jobe Bellingham, is also a professional football player for the EFL Championship side Sunderland in the second tier of English Football.

Real Madrid eliminates Manchester City in thriller

The two teams were locked in a 3-3 draw last week during the first leg at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, making this match the decider.

The game finished once again leveling at 1-1 after 120 minutes, despite the defending European champions dictating the pace for most of the evening.

Real Madrid eventually won 4-3 in the ensuing penalty shootout, with third-choice goalkeeper Andriy Lunin making two crucial saves.
