UCL: Real Madrid end Man City’s ‘double treble’ dream with penalty shootout win

Real Madrid’s players celebrate after winning at the end of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final second-leg football match between Manchester City and Real Madrid, at the Etihad Stadium, in Manchester, north-west England, on April 17, 2024. – Real Madrid beat holders Manchester City 4-3 on penalties to reach the Champions League semi-finals on Wednesday after the tie ended 4-4 on aggregate.

Man City had not lost at home in the Champions League since 2018 but the holders were held at bay by a heroic defensive effort by the 14-time European champions despite having 34 attempts on goal. This time Carlo Ancelotti’s men flipped the script with an assured start that was rewarded in the opening goal.

If Man City were slow to warm to their task they quickly had Madrid penned against the ropes but failed to land a telling blow for 76 minutes.Erling Haaland failed to score for a fourth consecutive clash between the sides but has rarely come up closer than when his looping header came back off the crossbar and left Bernardo Silva no time to adjust to turn in the rebound.
