Video: Watch how Real Madrid crashed Man City out of Champions League finals

Manchester City’s Champions League journey came to a heartbreaking end as they fell to Real Madrid on penalties in the quarter-final stage.

Despite outplaying Madrid, City lacked their usual cutting edge and confidence.

Bernardo Silva and Mateo Kovacic were unable to find a way past Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin in the shootout, sealing City’s fate after a tense 1-1 draw in regulation time and extra-time.

City had numerous opportunities to secure victory but couldn’t capitalise on their chances.

Even the presence of Erling Haaland couldn’t turn the tide, as he was substituted by Pep Guardiola following another disappointing performance in a crucial match.

Antonio Rudiger dashed City’s hopes of a comeback with a decisive penalty, putting an end to any hopes of a double-treble.

Despite falling behind early to a goal from Rodryro, City fought back valiantly. Kevin De Bruyne equalised with a powerful strike after a defensive error from Rudiger.

However, De Bruyne missed a golden opportunity to secure victory before the end of regular time.

In extra-time, City continued to dominate proceedings, but failed to find the winning goal.

Ultimately, penalties proved to be their downfall, with Bernardo and Kovacic faltering at the crucial moment.
