Transcript
00:00but also hope to provide similar defensive discipline to that which was
00:08so evident having broken the spell against Real Madrid in the first leg
00:12waits for Real Madrid domestically not going so well but we saw the Etihad just
00:19how dominant they can be they were the better team their firepower so so
00:24dangerous so for City when they have the ball they want to commit bodies forward
00:26but have to be careful they don't get caught on the break and in this sort of
00:29scenario
00:32sensational starts Kylian Mbappé one chance one goal
00:43and Pep Guardiola a portrait of despondency
00:49and the majority around the Bernabeu a picture of elation
00:56it's a hammer blow for City and Mbappé is in sparkling goal-scoring form once he
01:00gets in behind the City defence and he appreciates where Edison is there's only
01:04one outcome but it's rudimentary it's a long straightforward ball City defenders
01:10ball-watching the Stones gets caught out badly misjudges that the flight of the
01:14ball not really getting anywhere I can understand the approach but it's just
01:16not working so far
01:21to remain his ball and Baffin with a chance again
01:30intelligent run from Mbappé he's on his way as soon as too many picks the ball
01:35up he's making the run outside of the booze nonchalant it's a brilliant
01:40flick forward pace of Mbappé gets him away from defenders but the timing of
01:44his runs as well he's so hard to stay shoulder-to-shoulder with
01:52he dismissed pretty lightly Bellingham feeding Vinicius jr. Rodrigo Mbappé scores
02:03oh the fab four are calling the tune
02:11Real Madrid's grip tightens
02:16the round of 16 beckoning and the end of the road for Manchester City in sight
02:23well City have had plenty of possession just no threat at all but every time Real Madrid
02:28go forward they look like things are gonna happen
02:31delighted and on their way they lead at the interval by two goals to nil on the
02:37night 5-2 on aggregate
02:41the pristine white shirts of Real Madrid
02:46and it's underway in the second period
02:51working it to Valverde
02:55Rodrigo's gonna hit it
03:00body and clear it but it's his defensive starting position as the strike from
03:04Rodrigo should do better really with it but it's reaction Rodrigo after the shot
03:09chasing the ball down getting it now Rodrigo elusive and mobile Valverde
03:18Mbappé waits and he still waits for his hat-trick
03:23City attack give the ball away cheaply she comes sweeping for it's a tight
03:28call the offside call is brave Mbappé as is Edison it's a wonderful ball in
03:33from Valverde stepping forward from right back gets the first touch on it
03:36keeper does just enough to keep it out there's the difference the attacking
03:41quality that Real Madrid have it's not just the individuals but how they attack
03:44so different to match
03:53Mbappé it's opened up
04:04three for Mbappé three for Real Madrid
04:11and you can say absolutely positively that it is all over now
04:23Bellingham Vinicius jr. and it's unable to divert it away from danger
04:32Valverde City Ruben Diaz giving the ball away cheaply Bellingham pouncing on it
04:38I think he really indicates where he's looking to strike this ball Vinicius
04:41jr. so it's a save that Edison should make it's a good height it's not too
04:45much pace on the ball it's moving back towards the goalkeeper as well
04:50Khrushchev now to Bernardo Silva
04:56Foden was hit with some venom replacements
05:05a strike from Foden plenty of power
05:09Kovacic just looking to quicken it a little but opportunities for City but
05:21he's played so well he's deservedly forced his way into into the reckoning
05:25Vinicius jr. and Bellingham and Rodrigo
05:31his reaction says it
05:35Rudiger won it Makati and it breaks kindly for Kuzanov who's plowing on
05:45they just need to shoot
05:54it's Mammoet to hit it and what a hit it was and on the follow-up Nico Gonzalez
05:59is there
06:08well he was there to follow up there was the question well there's no question of
06:11offside and City are on the board and there is no Real Madrid clean sheet I
06:16think it's Mendy the player lying on the ground that plays the City players on
06:19it's a thunderous strike keep us nowhere near it they get a bit of luck with the
06:22break of the ball that's about the only look really they've had in the game City
06:27coming back on the crossbar striking Courtois making it a tap-in so at least
06:33City have got a goal but that's again it's just purely a consolation nothing
06:38more they've been outclassed tonight well greeted by deafening silence
06:44the goal stands and at least a note of defiance or be it one that may ring
06:59hollow
07:04there's a fairly lengthy VAR check it did look fairly obvious on first viewing
07:08but of course whether it's first minute or last first goal in the game or the
07:13fourth you've got to check it make sure you get the to the right decision and
07:17they have
07:28cover chitch
07:31Guardiola
07:41by the referee in that congested area
07:45Madrid certainly how it can't have any complaints on that front tonight
07:52you
07:56Real Madrid imperious
