What result does Real Madrid need to reach the 2022-23 Champions League Final?
To advance to the final without extra time or penalties, Real Madrid must win by a margin that ensures City cannot overturn the aggregate score within regulation time. If the match ends level after 90 minutes, the contest moves into two 15-minute halves of extra time. If the deadlock persists, penalties decide who reaches the final.
It is important to note that away goals no longer carry extra weight in this competition; a 0-0, 1-1, 2-2 or 3-3 would trigger extra time, with the tie ultimately decided by penalties if needed.
If Real Madrid lose by any scoreline, Manchester City advances to the final.
