@SoumyodipDas10 Thanks for following

@spbajko Blah blah blah

A performance to be proud of from #mcfc at the Etihad as they went at Real for 90 minutes despite being a man down for 70. But they were always up against it after the mistakes in the first leg and a moment of madness from Silva tonight killed any comeback dream

Any thoughts for this week's Q&A, go right ahead docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

@CraikSteve29519 They’ve regressed from the unprecedented and historic heights, yes. Some would say that was inevitable

@spbajko I’m just a realist. There’s no point sugar coating it. The club has regressed in the last 2 seasons. Quality players allowed to leave and the replacements have been mediocre.

Guardiola asked if he has a message for #mcfc fans ahead of upcoming games with Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal: "They know what they have seen. They know it perfectly well. They know that it was close."

@R_MadridFC15 Maybe, but Courtois and Lunin made at least three outstanding saves between them and there were two City goals ruled out for marginal offsides. So there were definitely moments where Real nearly conceded more

@spbajko Madrid simply allowed them to. There was no moment it felt Madrid were going to lose that match. Madrid were content with a draw and did not push harder after scoring.

@CraikSteve29519 And you are welcome to that view

@spbajko I don’t care. Nothing to be proud of considering we lost the tie 1-5 on aggregate.

Nearly but not enough: the story of City's season? The good news is that it hurts again. The bad news is that it hurts, and there's no guarantees of the pain ending any time soon manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football…

Khusanov and Doku led the charge for #mcfc tonight, but not enough of their teammates could rise to their level. Ratings manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football…

Khusanov has been world class tonight - one of the best performances from an #mcfc player all season

And Guehi. For Dias and Reijnders

Lunin coming on for Courtois for Real. Nathan Ake coming on for City

Khusanov bodychecks Vinicius. Vinicius hurls himself to the floor clutching his face. The referee books Khusanov. City are absolutely steaming - could be more reds coming tonight

GOAL. Haaland gets one back after brilliant work from Doku, who hasn't given up

Ait-Nouri fouled near the edge of the box. Nothing given. Guardiola straight over to the fourth official and almost immediately gets a yellow card. Not going well.

Vinicius scores the penalty. And then another wonder save from Courtois. And then Vinicius blasts over with the goal at his mercy. There could be many more goals in this one, but it's beginning to look ugly

Real penalty and Bernardo Silva red card, after VAR review. That's all

City have started strongly. Unfortunately for them, so have Real.

And a switch of outfits from a man who normally dresses up for the Champions League

A switch of ends 👀
