A match report and 4 points of conversation because the prediction of Acelotti is approaching the step
Real Madrid enters the last 16 Champions League after extinguishing 6-3 total victories over Manchester City in Nokaut.
Madrid has been working hard at Etihad Stadium a week earlier, coming from behind and asked for a 3-2 win in Manchester, before putting a glaze on a metaphorical cake home at Bernabeu.
Hat-trick Kylian Mbappe was a difference in a one-sided night, shooting Madrid in front. He added a second during the first half, completing his high high -pointed points with just over an hour.
For Manchester City, who achieved late comfort through January, signed by Nico Gonzalez, they are outside the Champions League before the last 16 for the first time because they failed to escape from the group stage in 2012/13.
How the game took place
Manchester City began immediately taking control of the ball, looking for a goal that would equalize the overall rating. But before they could start creating at all, the aggregate deficit was suddenly even greater when a long passing over the central backs provided a Mbappe breakthrough.
There was still work for the French, but he kept calm to raise the bouncing ball and through Eerson, to the back of the net.
Buffer with two goals gave Madrid a huge confidence and it was like playing with City, playing with freedom that resulted in an attack after the attack. The rush of the corners represented a huge threat, and visitors were ultimately just haunted by the shadows.
With half an hour played, Mbappe played back behind the city defense, releasing the ball hit to near the post this time Eerson was equal. This was a warning sign, because he had a second soon, he spread the aggregate to three goals.
It was a glittering move that began with Madrid to the right with Jude Bellingham, and captured by Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo for a good measure, the latter put the ball into Mbappe’s path. He thought he was sitting on a Josko Guardiol on the back, before shooting low next to the helpless Eerson.
Madrid started the second half equally at the top, and Rodrygo shot from only within the penalty area after Federico Valverde designed the opportunity. Epson came out behind another threatening Rodrygo effort, while Ruben Dias should have been in the right place at the right time to cut out the stunning Valverde Cross intended for Antonia Rudiger on a long post.
When Mbappe met another delivery of Valverde, Eerson was available to save in close districts.
The Madrid’s hero of the evening did not need to wait long to finish his hat-trick, easily beaten by Phil Foden with the stalling on the edge of the box and bending the measured left leg in a distant lower corner. City fans will not be satisfied with the lack of intensity that defends it.
City collected something in the last quarter of the game, and Foden inserted Thibaut Courtois’s palms in the first real contribution of the Belgian goalkeeper. In the midst of a raft, replacement from both coaches, who eventually shuddered Gonzalez scored his first Champions League goal, turning in the jump while Omar Marmoush’s free kukac was warm back from the crossbar.

This night, he was incaples precisely why Real Madrid chased Kylian Mbappe so long.
It was a slow start after his seismic arrival in July, which can be forgiven, given that he was expected to hit the country at a brand new club in a brand new country, outside the back of the international tournament and a minimum summer vacation.
But Mbappe was practically impracticable in 2025 and this was his stage.
The best players in the world are amplified when counting, and he did it and then some. Four minutes and took the first chance of playing to kill effectively there and then. His second goal of the evening was the pure quality of the world class, he is able to take that extra second to see a full picture in his head and embarrass Josko Guardiol.
With confidence he went through the veins, his Hat-trick strike was so easy. But it’s simply simple when top players are in good shape.
Where Mbappe won a tie for Madrid, Erling Haaland was only among the Manchester City submarine.
Just a few days after City’s captain in a handsome victory over Newcastle United, after starting all 34 Premier League and Champions League games, it was transmitted by the Norwegian knocking that Norwegian did not consider himself sufficiently suitable to start after joining training on Tuesday.
Excuse me, but the city just didn’t have stones for that.
He had already enhanced from the absence of his best scorer and laged early, City lost the older center of John Stones due to an injury within the introductory ten minutes.
The retreat seemed to truly knocked on the rest of the team, and Madrid turned the screw, and the city could barely lay his glove on an opponent who had previously switched to heels from so many times.
She is still worrying that the leaders of the Liverpool Premier League are host by Liverpool hosts, and a point is needed because of a very close range of Bournemouth Chelsea behind them in the Champions League qualification race.
Carlo Ancelotti foreseen in front of the first leg That the winner of this tie will continue to raise the Champions League trophy in Munich, to come in late May.
This was already true in each of the last three seasons.
This was an earlier meeting than in previous years, so there is a lot of football to play than a quarter or a semi -final match as well as in the past. But the 15-plow European champions will surely be convinced now that they have eliminated one of their best rivals.
And those other remaining parties who saw Madrid’s determination to return late to their first leg, and their demolition job in the second leg have reason to intimidate.
