Kevin De Bruyne brought Manchester City back into the game by scoring two goals and completing an incredible comeback to stun Real Madrid 2-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu in their Champions League round of 16 clash.<\/p>\n
Madrid looked on course to win the contest after Isco’s finish early in the second half put them ahead, but De Bruyne has plans to spoil their party.<\/p>\n
He first teamed up with Gabriel Jesus to open the scoring for Manchester City in the 78th minute, and then finished it from the spot five minutes later.<\/p>\n
Sergio Ramos was sent off for preventing Jesus in the later stages of the game and he will now miss the second leg at the Etihad Stadium on March 17.<\/p>\n
The two away goals which City scored will make them favourites to go through to the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n
“It’s still not over,” Manchester City gaffer Pep Guardiola said to keep his team away from any complacency.<\/p>\n
“If there is one team that can overcome this it is this club (Real Madrid) with their experience and their history,” he added.<\/p>\n
“We know the situation,” said Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane. “We have to go there and win.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
