- Early action saw Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku dart inside the Real Madrid box in the eighth minute, nearly creating a scoring opportunity as the hosts faced immediate pressure.

- Manchester City arrive in decent form with a healthy squad and attacking threat from Erling Haaland, who scored recently on February 11, 2026, against a 15-time European champion.
