After almost single handily catapulting Real Madrid past Manchester City into the Champions League Final on Wednesday afternoon, Los Blancos star Rodrygo Silva de Goes took to Instagram after the tie to share his excitement with the world.

The 21-year-old from Osasco, Brazil, came on for German star Toni Kroos as a substitute for Carlo Ancelotti's side after 68 minutes and proceeded to score a pair of goals during the 90th minute, and the first additional minute of second-half stoppage time to force extra time with the Cityzens.

Real Madrid then went ahead on a Karim Benzema penalty and never proceeded to look back.

With the win, Los Blancos are through to their 17th European Cup final in club history.

The Brazilian international set a new Champions League record with his late match brace, becoming the first player in the history of the Champions League to score two goals in the 90th minute.
