Overview
- Real won 2-1 at the Etihad to complete a 5-1 aggregate victory in the Champions League last 16.
- Vinícius converted the penalty resulting from Silva's dismissal and sealed the night with a stoppage-time goal after an earlier VAR check.
- Erling Haaland pulled one back before half-time, but City could not add another despite registering 22 shots.
- Both sides had goals disallowed for offside, and Haaland was taken off with more than 30 minutes remaining, a call that drew scrutiny.
- Madrid have eliminated City for the third straight season and the fourth time in five, with Guardiola facing renewed questions as focus shifts to Wembley and the league run-in.
