Manchester City’s hopes of salvaging their season have taken a huge hit after Real Madrid eliminated them from the Champions League with a 5‑1 aggregate win, extending Madrid’s dominance over City in Europe this season.
The first leg ended 3‑0 to Real thanks to Federico Valverde's hat trick, and a 2‑1 loss at the Etihad, compounded by Bernardo Silva’s red card and late goals from Vinicius Junior, confirmed City’s exit.
With only the Carabao Cup final against Arsenal and the Premier League campaign left, the defeat puts extra pressure on Pep Guardiola’s side to turn around a disappointing campaign, though Guardiola insists the squad’s future remains bright.
