Santiago Bernabéu nights, where the impossible happens. #UCL

Can confirm that we have the same amount of UCL trophies as Manchester City.

Real Madrid will now look to win their 14th Champions League title and their second under Carlo Ancelotti. The Italian tactician guided Madrid to their tenth European title, "La Decima," in 2014.

It's worth mentioning that Madrid's last Champions League title came in 2018, when they defeated Liverpool in the final in Kiev. Two goals from Gareth Bale and one from Karim Benzema helped Los Blancos secure a 3-1 win.

Carlo Ancelotti and Rodrygo react to Real Madrid's famous victory over Manchester City

Manager Carlo Ancelotti credited his team's mentality for digging deep and finding a late goal through Rodrygo to make a comeback against Manchester City.

The Italian tactician said after his team secured their place in the final (via the club's official website):

“It’s not so easy to explain. When everyone thought the game was finished it came down to just one fine detail, a good combination and a goal by Rodrygo. We put all our energy into it. You need a bit of luck to win these types of games though."

Rodgyro, who scored twice in the dying moments of regulation time, said:

“I'm really happy to be able to score two goals in the semi-final and get Madrid to the place where they always belong - the Champions League final - and to win it. I couldn't hear what my teammates were saying to me because I couldn't believe what was happening. We were losing the game, my first goal in the 90th minute and we were dead, and then what happened was what happened."

🎩 Hats off, @MrAncelotti. 🎩
