Real Madrid players and staff went wild for their victory over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. The intense game led to Madrid beating City 4-3 on penalties and advancing to the Champions League semi-finals against Bayern Munich. Not only did Real Madrid fans go crazy online, but so did former Real Madrid players. One of them was Marcelo, who wrote on X, "My Madrid." The Brazilian is familiar with beating Man City in the Champions League as he was playing with Madrid two seasons ago when they won the UCL in 2022.
MI MADRID 💪🏾⚽️🚀

Let's go to 15th!" [UCL]
