Manchester City won 2-1 on the night for a 4-2 aggregate victory to reach the quarter-finals where they will face Lyon.

Real Madrid's French defender Raphael Varane vies with Manchester City's Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus during the UEFA Champions League round of 16 second leg football match between Manchester City and Real Madrid at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, north west England on August 7, 2020. Manchester City won the match 2-1.

They capitalised on two shocking mistakes by Varane to get their goals, with Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus scoring either side of a Karim Benzema strike for the visitors in this last 16 second leg, played at an empty Etihad Stadium.Varane was dispossessed inside the box in the ninth minute allowing Sterling to put City ahead, and his poor headed backpass attempt gifted Jesus another goal midway through the second half.
