Man City vs Real Madrid LIVE: Champions League result and reaction as holders exit after penalty shootout

Man City 1-1 Real Madrid (4-4 agg; Madrid win 4-3 on penalties): City knocked out after agonising penalty shootout defeat

Man City 'exceptional' against Real Madrid despite crashing out of Champions League, says Guardiola

Manchester City’s dreams of retaining the Champions League were shattered after a dramatic penalty shoot-out loss to Real Madrid.

Bernardo Silva and Mateo Kovacic both missed from the spot as City were beaten 4-3 on penalties after their pulsating quarter-final tie ended 4-4 on aggregate.

Rodrygo had given Real an early lead in the second leg at the Etihad Stadium but City otherwise dominated and, after creating a host of chances, finally made it 1-1 on the night through Kevin De Bruyne in the 76th minute.

De Bruyne spurned a good chance to win the tie in normal time and Erling Haaland had earlier hit the crossbar but it was the competition’s record 14-time winners who ultimately prevailed.
