Man City’s Champions League Dreams Crushed by Real Madrid in Penalty Shootout

Manchester City‘s Champions League journey came to an end as they were defeated by Real Madrid in a tense penalty shootout during the quarter-final at Etihad Stadium.

Despite an early setback with Rodrygo’s goal, City equalized 14 minutes before the end of regulation time with a strike from Kevin de Bruyne. Although City dominated the match, their lack of finishing allowed Real Madrid to force penalties.


Manchester City seemed poised to face Bayern Munich in the semi-final when Luka Modric missed Real Madrid’s first penalty. However, crucial saves by Real Madrid’s keeper Andriy Lunin, including stopping Bernardo Silva’s penalty, paved the way for Real Madrid’s victory. Former Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger scored the decisive penalty, ending City’s aspirations for a Treble.

Manchester City’s manager Pep Guardiola expressed no regrets about the match but will need to prepare his team for their FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea at Wembley on Saturday.
