Scenes of chaos in injury time during the Man City - Real match.

In the early hours of March 18th, the match at the Etihad Stadium seemed to end peacefully, but everything exploded when the second half entered injury time. Only 3 minutes were added, but that was enough to escalate the tension beyond control.

The incident began with Ruben Dias's brutal foul on Arda Guler. Referee Clement Turpin ruled the ball had gone out of bounds, but Arda continued to play. In this instance, Ruben Dias lost his temper and unleashed a powerful kick that sent the Real Madrid player to the ground. The situation quickly escalated into a reaction from both sides.

Brahim Diaz was the most aggressive in his reaction. He argued with Rodri first, then confronted Dias directly. Although the fight resumed, the pace was quickly disrupted by the continuous clashes.

Tensions escalated further when Vinicius Junior was elbowed by Abdukodir Khusanov and fell to the ground. The incident caused players from both teams to clash, creating a chaotic atmosphere.

Meanwhile, Brahim Diaz clashed with Ruben Dias again, forcing the Manchester City defender to ask the referees to review the incident. Gianluigi Donnarumma also intervened, pushing Brahim away from the heated situation in an attempt to de-escalate the tension, but this only made things worse.

Realizing the situation was getting out of control, referee Turpin decided to blow the whistle to end the match earlier than planned.

However, the controversy didn't end as the players left the pitch. Erling Haaland tried to calm Guler, while Donnarumma remained angry, gesturing towards Antonio Rudiger. The final minutes at the Etihad ended in tension, leaving a significant impact after the match.

After two legs, Real Madrid won with an aggregate score of 5-1 against Manchester City, thus advancing to the quarter-finals. In the first leg, Real Madrid thrashed the English side 3-0, and won 2-1 in the second leg.

Manchester United and the power to decide the top 4 race: Chelsea's 0-1 defeat opens up a great opportunity for Manchester United to determine their own fate in the race for a Champions League spot next season.
