Previous Meeting
The last time City faced Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu was in a thrilling Champions League quarter-final first leg last April, which ended in a 3-3 draw. Bernardo Silva scored early for City, but Real Madrid quickly responded with a goal from Ruben Dias’ own goal and a deflected shot from Rodrygo. City dominated the second half with goals from Phil Foden and Josko Gvardiol, but Federico Valverde’s brilliant volley secured a draw and extended City’s unbeaten run in the Champions League to 22 matches. Highlights from that intense encounter are available for fans to relive the action.
Last Time Out
In the first leg of this tie, Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid secured a 3-2 victory at the Etihad Stadium, taking a slender advantage into the second leg. Erling Haaland scored two goals to give City the lead, but Kylian Mbappe leveled the score. Late goals from Brahim Diaz and Jude Bellingham ensured a crucial away win for the Spanish side. City, on the other hand, returned to league action on Saturday with a convincing 4-0 victory over Newcastle United, thanks to a hat-trick from Omar Marmoush. Real Madrid, however, were held to a 1-1 draw away to Osasuna, with Kylian Mbappe scoring for them and Jude Bellingham being sent off.
