Vinicius Jr nets double as Real Madrid dispatch Man City in Champions League last 16

  • On Tuesday, Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr scored twice as they beat Manchester City 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium, completing a 5-1 aggregate win.
  • After a 3-0 first-leg win at the Bernabéu, City faced an impossible task when Bernardo Silva was sent off after a VAR review for handling, awarding Madrid a penalty.
  • After halftime the substitute goalkeeper, Andriy Lunin, was called into action with a big save on Haaland, as City’s 22 shots went unrewarded despite playing most of the second leg with 10 men.
  • With this result, the quarter-final picture now points to Real Madrid likely facing Bayern Munich, reshuffling the last-eight draw, as Madrid continues a pattern of knockout success against City.
  • Given their knockout pedigree and returning stars, Real Madrid's squad returns strengthen them as they prepare for the last eight, with Mbappe set to play some part, and Madrid's record versus City in recent meetings remains strong.
