Manchester City fans couldn't quite believe what they witnessed at the Bernabeu on Wednesday evening and took to social media to vent their frustrations.
City led 4-3 after first leg at the Etihad but ended up crashing out of the Champions League after self destructing in Madrid.
The Premier League giants scored first in the away fixture but ended up losing 6-5 on aggregate after Rodrygo came to turn Wednesday's fixture on its head.
Riyad Mahrez opened the scoring on Wednesday night by finding the back of the net in the 73rd minute. Man City held the lead until the 90th minute of the game when Rodrygo scored a stunning equaliser.
Rodrygo then put the LaLiga giants ahead and level on aggregate by scoring his second goal of the night just one minute later.
As a result, the game went to extra time and City were given 30 minutes to keep their Champions League dream alive.
However, a clumsy foul from Ruben Dias afforded Real Madrid and penalty - which Benzema slotted into the bottom right corner. Therefore, Real Madrid emerged victorious - winning 6-5 on aggregate.
The Manchester City fans subsequently took to social media to vent their frustration over the result and highlight the downfalls within the Premier League side.
One fan wrote: 'Another wasted season in the Champions League, how did we even lose that after 2 goals up! Very disappointing!'.
Another added: 'Some of these players have been class all season. but today had awful performance. I don't blame pep. truly everybody is letting down him and KDB'.
While one said: '@ManCity just threw this game away. @RealMadrid had no shots on target for 90mins. Then 2 goals in 2 mins. @ManCity completely lacked game management ability....6 mins to go and you concede 2.'
Another fan wrote: 'Man City have dropped a stinker here. A huge bottle job, they had this in their hands and threw it away. Now only the league left and Liverpool breathing down their necks'.
Before another added: 'Only terrible subs were Sterling and Grealish. But we shouldn’t even get to that point when we had a 2 nil lead at 89mins… Poor performance from the defense switching off there'.
Whereas others decided to credit Real Madrid by saying: 'Kudos to Madrid. They nailed their chances after Man City wasted two in quick succession to force extra time and put the game away.'
Some even called out Kevin de Bruyne for 'hiding' during their Champions League semi-final. They wrote: 'City threw that away… De Bruyne continues to go missing in big games …'.
Another added: 'De bruyne was awful..Gundugan changed the game for us. Poor defending cost us simply'.

I think it's time we and all the football Associations/Federations to change the narrative of praising the goal scorers instead of the eleven players on the field. The fact is that a player passed to the scorer and a player passed to that who passed to the scorer and so on ......... It is very very rare (if possible) for one player to take the ball from his goalkeeper and go straight to score an opponent. Please I am begging all the football Associations and Federations in the world to please change the present. Thank you all.

Why is everyone overhyping Benzema. He only scored a penalty and was not seen in the entire game. The only one who should deserve credit is Rodrygo

I am a die hard Barcelona fan but to be honest with you guys Madrid are on fire this season and Benzema deserves the Balon D'Or either he win the final or not

I looked at it over again and dias got the ball first and wasn't tackling from behind. Benzema also was going to ground before any impact at all.. It wasnt and isn't a penalty
It’s a really really close frame but Dias doesn’t to the ball first. benzema does, and to be fair, that’s all footballers these days, once initial contact is made, they go down but that doesn’t really matter when such the challenge was late.

Honestly I hate real Madrid....... but real is a true champions league team if you look closer a team which don't give up that easily and believe in it's own ability.... I won't be surprised if real wins this year's champions league final.

here we can surely say you didn't even saw the full match, he had an assist and made some good chances in the opponent box to pressurise Man city defence. Please don't speak if you didn't had seen the match.

i am Barca fan but Benzema had a great impact in the game. His assist and goal are the reason they are in final. You should watch the match instead of reading in AF apps.

He scored one and assisted one. Maybe when u continue to watch football longer u will understand atimes star player's presence alone unsettles defenders for other team mates to score.
