The Moment That Ignited the BernabΓ©u
Minute 54 β Trent Alexander-Arnold picked up the ball in acres of space on the right flank. Most expected a routine pass. What happened next stunned the stadium.
With a quick glance up, Trent whipped in a sublime, curling cross into the heart of the penalty area. Time seemed to freeze β and then Gonzalo GarcΓa launched himself between two defenders, rising like a rocket to power a thunderous header into the net.
The goalkeeper was left rooted. The crowd erupted. And just like that, Real Madrid had their breakthrough β the only goal of the match β sealing a vital win and delivering a statement to the footballing world.
