ETIHAD STADIUM, MANCHESTER — Antonio Rudiger capped an limitless defensive effort from Right Madrid by settling an sage UEFA Champions League quarterfinal against Manchester City with the decisive penalty.
Following remaining week’s pulsating 3-3 design on the Santiago Bernabeu, Carlo Ancelotti’s men drew first blood by way of Rodrygo.
City dominated lawsuits, as they appreciate got for astronomical stretches of the charming ties between the side over the past three seasons. And yet, after this 1-1 design, they appreciate got been eradicated by the 14-time winners and masters of this competition on two of these instances.
It felt worship there would only be one winner when Kevin De Bruyne levelled with the hosts in the ascendancy. Alternatively, although a tactical case will most likely be made for each and each switches, Pep Guardiola’s resolution to eradicate each and each De Bruyne and Erling Haaland before the shootout looked silly when Andriy Lunin saved tame makes an attempt from Bernardo Silva and De Bruyne’s replace Mateo Kovacic. Afterwards, the City manager acknowledged Haaland, De Bruyne and defender Manuel Akanji had requested to be substituted as a punishing attain upon ticked past 90 minutes.

City drew first blood for the length of penalties as Ederson saved from Luka Modric. The City keeper scored his team’s fifth with aplomb after Julian Alvarez and Phil Foden moreover transformed. However Madrid were very most attention-grabbing after Modric’s fraudulent initiating, with Jude Bellingham, Lucas Vazquez, Nacho and his tireless centre-relieve accomplice Rudiger developing a showdown with Bayern Munich and a shot at number 15.

Lineups:
Man City (4-1-4-1 devoted to left): 31. Ederson (GK) — 2. Kyle Walker, 25. Manuel Akanji (5. John Stones), 3. Ruben Dias, 24. Josko Gvardiol — 16. Rodri — 20. Bernardo Silva, 17. Kevin De Bruyne (8.

Luka Modric) — 15. Federico Valverde, 5. Jude Bellingham, 11. Rodrygo (21. Brahim Diaz) — 7. Vinicius Junior (17. Lucas Vazquez).
By that level, Rodrygo as soon as more tormenting City with a 12th-minute opener felt worship it came a couple of lifetime in the past.
The Brazil forward used to be heading in the right course eight days in the past in the Spanish capital, having scored a remaining-gasp brace to spark a major turnaround when these two facets clashed in the 2022 semis.
Holders City spoke back strongly and as soon as more enjoyed the lion’s portion of possession. Haaland looped a header against the crossbar and De Bruyne examined Lunin in between some strangely wayward work.
However a defence marshalled by Nacho and Rudiger held out until the rupture on a ground the set they were hammered 4-0 remaining season.
Halftime did no longer interrupt the pattern of the contest and City chipped away at a gigantic Madrid defence with diminutive tangible reward. Rudiger, Nacho and Lunin were set by way of a remark-portion bombardment, surviving by any way important.
De Bruyne and Silva were manner under their normal standards of precision on the remaining ball, whereas Lunin made absorbing saves from Jack Grealish and Foden as Haaland hustled and harried in vain for a couple of definite blades of grass.
Jeremy Doku’s introduction in set of abode of the very good Grealish served to commence issues up and gave City added attacking thrust against a flagging Madrid defence. The leap forward came 14 minutes from the pause of no longer fresh time when Rudiger lost his footing and tiredly shovelled Doku’s low inferior in De Bruyne’s course. The Belgian maestro made no mistake, rifling into the roof of the net. The shock came five minutes later when Doku picked him out as soon as more and he blazed over.

Madrid scrapped their manner into the additional duration and Guardiola brought on a scurry by changing Haaland with Alvarez. The Argentina striker practically made an immediate impact when a Doku inferior flashed between him and the face of goal.
Doku’s threat subsided thereafter as drained bodies and minds clouded the quality, with an exhausted Rudiger losing the single likelihood of the additional duration on a uncommon Madrid foray.
The Germany defender used to be essential more certain-footed from 12 yards, reward for his and Madrid’s amazing fortitude having spent so essential of this contest under the pump.
For the total idle talk of City’s inevitability and a “double-treble” after they dared to shield conclude a two-level Premier League lead with six games remaining over the weekend, sport on the absorbing pause comes the total vogue down to essentially the most attention-grabbing margins, the cruellest twist and essentially the most exultant highs. Despite the total nonsense, it’s what keeps us coming relieve each time.
Man City vs Right Madrid penalty shootout as it came about
Manchester City’s reign as champions of Europe is over. They dominated for long intervals of this tie and can now regret the freewheeling nature of the 3-3 design in Madrid remaining week. They were decrease than a quarter of an hour from elimination when De Bruyne scored. A design used to be the least they deserved for his or her endeavours and Ederson’s set gave them first blood in the shootout. However with Haaland and De Bruyne substituted, tame efforts from Silva and Kovacic gave Madrid a likelihood they did no longer refuse. Thanks for joining us.

Man City vs Right Madrid stay updates, highlights, and commentary
Fulltime
Lucas gets relieve to tie up Doku. After 180 charming minutes, we are able to think our semifinalist from 12 yards. As soon as more, a reminder that Guardiola has substituted Haaland and De Bruyne.
120th minute: Foden to Alvarez, he’s pushed wide and shoots at Lunin. That frequently is the remaining of the potentialities. One added minute.
118th minute: A Madrid likelihood. What’s Nacho doing up there? He appears to don’t appreciate any thought. Mendy crosses for Vazquez and Gvardiol is in the manner again.
117th minute: A gamble for Madrid to interrupt. Bellingham appears to be like crossfield to Lucas and sells him a contact short. Gvardiol barrels in bravely to win the tackle.

116th minute: City are painstakingly making an attempt to make a selection the lock. Madrid stand agency.
112th minute: Lucas has a dip from range and that’s no longer half of unhealthy. De Bruyne and Akanji attain off for City. Pep, there would possibly perhaps be penalties in about 10 minutes!
111th minute: Carvajal is leaving us. He’s absolutely spent, reputedly cramping in each and each legs. Militao comes on for him. Stones and Kovacic, who don’t precisely if fact be told feel worship pure penalty takers, are about to attain on for City.
Kickoff: 2d half of (additional time)
Many of noise in the rupture from the house crowd. They need their team to book definite of penalties. By winning, obviously.
a hundred and fifth minute+2: Walker flicks it half of definite. Then blocks and the come put up. Oh, but what’s this? Antonio Rudiger must rating! The centre-relieve had stayed up and lashes his left boot on the ball to send it wide from conclude range.
a hundred and fifth minute+1: Bellingham gets down the devoted and wins a corner off Dias. Is that Madrid’s first? I will’t remember
a hundred and fifth minute: Mendy sees Silva out of his manner and it is a goal kick. There’ll most likely be two added minutes.
103rd minute: The corner is cleared, De Bruyne flings in a inferior that Lunin must be ready to throw his cap on but he makes a mess of it. Doku chips goalwards and he catches that one.
102nd minute: A wait for the corner as Vinicius departs. Looks he broken his ego in that duel with Walker.
101st minute: Modric with a sensuous diminutive gem of a pass from the devoted touchline. Vinicius appears to be like worship he’s in, but here comes Kyle Walker! Gigantic stuff from the City captain. His team win devoted relieve at it and Doku has a shot blocked on the relieve of for a corner.
— UEFA Champions League (@ChampionsLeague) April 17, 2024
99th minute: Ball in from Silva and Foden misses his kick! Given the player and the season he’s having, you’d appreciate anticipated better.
98th minute: Sloppy from City as Foden over-hits a straightforward pass to Akanji, who jogs after it before realising Bellingham is . Alvarez is no longer drained, mind, and he scoots down the devoted to appreciate a chipped inferior cleared.
Ninety fifth minute: I am mesmerised by Doku’s feet from about 50 yards away, so the total very only to Carvajal. Foden can’t win a shot off and Madrid speed a clearance on the relieve of.
93rd minute: Doku gets proper by way of the commence air and delivers the vogue of inferior Haaland would appreciate most well liked. Because it is, Alvarez can’t win on the pause of it.
91st minute: Bellingham runs devoted into Dias’s shoulder. The City defender famously spends more than just a few time in the gym. As such, I reckon that is a sore one.
Kickoff: First half of (additional time)
Effectively, properly. There would possibly be a City change before we resume and it’s Julian Alvarez on for Erling Haaland, who has now did no longer rating in four City appearances against Madrid. He’s moreover their penalty taker…
Fulltime: After how that half of played out, Madrid will most likely be overjoyed to attain additional time but some of their gamers, who appreciate given every ounce, will most likely be dreading every other half of hour in the legs. However then this is Right Madrid in the Champions League, so they would possibly perhaps proper fabricate a ingredient. How Ancelotti galvanises his men and uses the relaxation of his bench will most likely be key. City are getting some intense chat from Guardiola. Ancelotti appears to be like more worship a kindly father settle asking if every person’s okay. Each and each playing their roles.
ninetieth minute+5: City corner. This will most likely be this and additional time….fine birth from De Bruyne, Gvardiol must win the next connection and Haaland diverts it onto the roof of the net.
ninetieth minute+3: Doku on the fee, in spite of every thing. Here is Rodri on his left foot and he scuffs the ball by way of to Lunin.
ninetieth minute+2: Carvajal quite hilariously buys a free-kick after Doku catches him with a flailing arm. what, stunning play to him. That’s slightly funny.
ninetieth minute+1: There’ll most likely be four minutes of stoppage time.
ninetieth minute: Doku tries to dance by way of but can’t. And Madrid win away. Brahim… and Rodri takes the yellow in textbook vogue.
88th minute: Haaland rises on the relieve put up and heads into the side netting. Half of a likelihood on the very only.
87th minute: So essential is going by way of Doku now. Akanji’s cutback in betwixt and between but Madrid can only wander on the relieve of.
84th minute: Within the interests of The Fable, broken-down City child Brahim replaces Rodrygo for Madrid.
82nd minute: Oh, Kevin De Bruyne! I am no longer certain that you would possibly be allowed to omit potentialities that stunning at this stage of a tie this tightly poised and never pay for it. Doku again against a weary Madrid defence who must already abominate the observe of him. The cutback is on a plate and De Bruyne blazes over. Had to rating.
78th minute: De Bruyne in the mood now and he larrups one proper over with his left foot. Luka Modric approaching to investigate cross-test to restful issues down for Madrid.
76th minute: GOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLL!!!!!!! Kevin De Bruyne!!!!!!
Doku has the specified impact as he gets to the byline and fires in a ball that an exhausted Rudiger can only shovel to De Bruyne, who rifles into the roof of the net.
— CBS Sports Golazo ⚽️ (@CBSSportsGolazo) April 17, 2024
72nd minute: Grealish makes manner. He’s been very stunning tonight, one in every of City’s only gamers. However they need an elevated goal threat and Guardiola hopes Doku can present it.
seventieth minute: Grealish assessments internal to shoot. He fires it low and Lunin gathers on the second attempt with Foden lurking very nearby. Jeremy Doku is getting willing to attain on and gets an limitless slap on the backside from Guardiola.
66th minute: Long passage of City play, appealing left to devoted. De Bruyne, who’s been sad tonight, makes a mess of the volleyed inferior.
sixty fourth minute: A City attack ends with a drop ball since the ball hit the ref. Obviously every person appears to be like to be overjoyed.
62nd minute: Rodri fouls Camavinga, Guardiola applauds (for all you tactical fouls fans) and tries to gee up the gang.
61st minute: Little bit of an untidy passage, Foden with a snap shot that Rudiger blocks, because he blocks every thing. Now a yellow card for Gvardiol for bringing down Bellingham. As soon as more that comes from City having to slam the door on a Madrid transition. It feels worship a pivotal moment of the match devoted here.
59th minute: Carvajal leads a breakaway. Grealish hurls himself proper into a recount. He thinks he obtained the ball. The referee quite understandably disagrees and books him.
58th minute: Rudiger half of-clears Walker’s inferior. Akanji by no way gets over the shot and sends it skywards.
56th minute: Blue Moon rings proper by way of the ground. You sense if City win one this set of abode will explode.
Fifty fifth minute: Grealish wins City’s most in vogue corner. Glanced on by Gvardiol and Camavinga heads out of the goalmouth.
54th minute: Walker tears after Vinicius and wins their most in vogue speed. The crown laps it up.
52nd minute: City clearly fabricate no longer worship Lunin under the excessive ball. They’re bombarding him. This one falls to Foden, but he can’t win adequate agree with on the shot.
51st minute: Nacho Fernandez, what are you doing? De Bruyne overhits a by way of ball to Haaland and Nacho by chance rounds his win keeper. Haaland would had been ok with that contact, entirely did Lunin. The skipper is willing to definite on the relieve of.
50th minute: Rodrygo cuts internal Foden but thumps his shot manner over. Madrid potentially must appreciate held onto it for a diminutive bit more respite there. They appreciate some now as there are two balls on the pitch.
Forty ninth minute: Silva chips over Haaland. City’s remaining ball hasn’t been the set it wants to be tonight.
Forty seventh minute: Grealish meets a volley sweetly from the devoted flit birth but Lunin watches it properly by way of a crowd of bodies to win the set.
Forty sixth minute: Grealish relieve into his work. I am certain Carvajal missed him for the length of the rupture. The ball ends up with Silva, whose inferior is booted on the relieve of by Rudiger under tension from Haaland.
Kickoff: 2d half of
Off we scurry again. Drama absolutely awaits…
Halftime
Madrid appreciate an absolute shocker with a free-kick on the left and De Bruyne and Foden vogue a rupture. Bellingham is relieve to win a foot in and that’ll be that for the principle half of. Extra vigorous, moving stuff from these two but Rodrygo’s 12th-minute goal – on a ground the set Los Blancos were humiliated remaining season – has them forty five minutes some distance from the semis.
Forty fifth minute+1: Foden, whose devoted-flit berth has meant him existing on the margins, clatters a speculative long-ranger over.
Forty fifth minute: Affected person, methodical stuff from City. It ends with a incredible Carvajal header on the relieve of to disclaim Haaland and Silva. Ooof, Lunin appears to be like as at ease under these in-swinging De Bruyne corners as he would in a dentist’s chair. He pointers over. The corner for the devoted is cleared and there’ll be two minutes of stoppage time. Given how Madrid appreciate tried to kill the clock since scoring, they’ll be slightly ok with that.
fortieth minute: Vinicius takes his flip flying in on Grealish. The referee holds out his arms, which is an uncommon signal. Does he prefer a hug? Anyway, Haaland forces Lunin proper into a hurried clearance. All of sudden the traffic be taught about worship they would possibly perhaps fair quite fabricate with halftime.
39th minute: Or no longer it is a nice perspective for De Bruyne however the Madrid centre-backs are first again and there would possibly be an offside in there someplace.
thirty eighth minute: Grealish skins Carvajal, who obliges with one in every of the yellowest of yellow card challenges. Elephantine marks for the protests of innocence.
thirty sixth minute: Haaland drives by way of the Madrid midfield. Are you staring at, Roy Keane? He feeds Grealish, whose effort is deflected on the relieve of by a hurtling Rudiger. As soon as more the corner comes to nought and De Bruyne hits a inferior straight to Lunin.
34th minute: Akanji pops up down the devoted flank and City hustle every other corner. They’ve no longer if fact be told made any of them count. De Bruyne slaps in a low one which causes transient confusion but nothing more.
Thirty third minute: Madrid attempt every other rupture but Bellingham is subsumed by a sea of sky blue. City rumble forward and De Bruyne clatters over left-footed from 25 yards.
thirty second minute: Grealish changes gears to wing past Camavinga. His side-footed effort is deflected wide.
twenty ninth minute: Bellingham gets in to brilliantly dispossess Akanji and Madrid are away. They appreciate men over. Valverde down the devoted, Gvardiol makes a essential headed block.
28th minute: Madrid and the Lazarus-worship Carvajal be taught about off the preliminary corner. Rodri lofts one to the relieve put up, Haaland nods into the goalmouth but Lunin gets there first.
Twenty seventh minute: Oh, there would possibly be tempo on that, despite the indisputable fact that. A De Bruyne rasper that Lunin turns proper by way of the put up. Carvajal is down in some disarray meaning City usually are no longer allowed to shield conclude a like a flash corner.
Twenty sixth minute: Grealish with a soft shoe mosey into the Madrid box. De Bruyne hoists a leg out to divert the ball goalwards but there would possibly be no longer essential tempo on it.
Twenty fifth minute: Working instance as Vinicius gets goal side. For reasons only known to the inclined plump-relieve, Dani Carvajal is the man up there with him and has his shot blocked. Valverde sends the free ball excessive and wide. We’ll allow it after that elegance he scored remaining week, but that used to be horrid.
Twenty fourth minute: Madrid be taught about long in direction of Vinicius and Rodrygo. Their broken-down mate Walker is there to mop up. Alternatively, City are speeding issues a contact in the Madrid half of and it’s leaving them exposed on the rupture again.
nineteenth minute: My note how hasn’t that gone in. De Bruyne is down the devoted channel again. Lunin doesn’t fully sort out his low inferior. Haaland gets up amongst a gaggle of bodies to head against the crossbar. The rebound plops the total vogue down to Silva, but he can’t flip it in.
17th minute: Dias spreads play to Grealish, who does properly no longer only to shield up it in but to remark up Silva for a inferior. Haaland rises on the relieve put up but can’t shield his effort down.
15th minute: City appreciate spoke back slightly essential to occurring the relieve of. De Bruyne forces Lunin to tip a corner over. He takes the following out short to Grealish and the Madrid goalkeeper punches definite, albeit whereas no longer taking a be taught about fully at ease.
12th minute: GOOOOOAAAALLLLLL!!!!!! Rodrygo!!!!
Madrid lead as Rodrygo beats Ederson on the second attempt. However that all came from a appetizing contact from Jude Bellingham, pulling the ball out of the sky and killing it stone silly. That allowed Vinicius to inferior. Ederson denied his countryman brilliantly but would possibly perhaps fabricate nothing to thwart him on the rebound. Sport on!

11th minute: Madrid taking a be taught about more frivolously assured in possession than they did at slightly essential any time in the principle leg. A patient passing pass ends with Camavinga taking goal from commence air the box and Ederson gathering his dipping shot.
Eighth minute: Sparkling first-time pass from Akanji to send De Bruyne scampering down the devoted channel. His low inferior is simply too conclude to Lunin. You would count on better from the Belgian maestro from there.
Fifth minute: Walker has wandered down a cul-de-sac a couple of instances in like a flash succession, forced to get throws off Rodrygo. Or no longer it’s something to leer with the City defence lacking Stones’ skills in the originate-up. Grealish appears to be like for Gvardiol down the Madrid devoted however the attack breaks down.
4th minute: Or no longer it’s if fact be told quite cagey devoted now, which makes a transformation for these two. Akanji going in midfield when City are in possession and he’s into his work slightly smoothly.
2nd minute: An early punt forward for Haaland and he barges into Nacho. Presumably he’s pondering a couple of fresh jousting accomplice after getting diminutive or no change out of Rudiger. Grealish hurries Lunin proper into a sloppy clearance.
Kickoff: First half of
City win us underway. Madrid obtained the toss and grew to change into the groups around. To be stunning, you do no longer most frequently appreciate to book definite of the 192 for a blinding few hours.

The Champions League being the remaining frontier to triumph over, the thirst for revenge over the 2022 semifinal and a fabulous City performance made for a heady cocktail.

50 minutes before kickoff: For all that he stays a man of intricate tactical ingredient, Pep Guardiola’s City appreciate developed as a European force over most in vogue years by way of being over and over stress-examined in the massive moments. The holders are with out a doubt “mentality monsters” as a definite rival would possibly perhaps sing. At this stage of the season, Guardiola tends to head all in on the gamers he can belief. Any tweaks and flights of worship must be set away; it is time for the dependables. Manuel Akanji is undoubtedly one in every of these. He has proved to be an absolute shield conclude since getting again from Borussia Dortmund in a decrease-model deal remaining August, impressing proper by way of loads of positions in the de
Alternatively, John Stones roving into midfield from defence used to be Guardiola’s trump card against Madrid remaining year and the England global used to be moreover very good as City grew to change into the game around after halftime on the Bernabeu remaining week. In his absence, Akanji would possibly perhaps fabricate the Stones function, a job the set he is helpful as a replace of distinctive. The makeup of the defence and the midfield zones they are in all likelihood to bear in possession moreover makes it if fact be told feel worship Phil Foden will most likely be stationed on the devoted flit as against on the coronary heart of the action.
1 hr 10 minutes before kickoff: And this is the City team. Walker does win it, with Akanji reverting to centre-relieve alongside Ruben Dias. Which way John Stones has to be command material with a set of abode on the bench. The City entrance six is plump-energy.

1 hr 30 minutes before kickoff: The City team will most likely be with us rapidly. Whether or no longer or no longer Walker is fit to initiating for the principle time since suffering a hamstring injury whereas on global accountability with England feels key. Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo every rejoiced pulling out to the left flank the set Walker would had been stationed in Madrid remaining week. Manuel Akanji handled their threat manfully but Walker’s restoration tempo will also be something of an x-ingredient on this fixture. The 2022 semifinal underlines his importance: none of the six dreams City shipped over the course of that tie happened whereas Walker (moreover fighting injury on that occasion) used to be on the discipline. You count on Pep Guardiola will fabricate all he can to win him available in the market.
2 hours before kickoff: Carlo Ancelotti, as is his wont, has thrown his Madrid lineup out early. Membership captain Nacho gets the nod at centre-relieve alongside Antonio Rudiger, with Aurelien Tchouameni suspended and Eder Militao only fit adequate for a set of abode on the bench.
