Manchester City lost the grip on the game in the first leg finale thoroughly, not only losing but not being able to secure a draw as well. Now Pep Guardiola’s men have an uphill task — they have to beat Real Madrid away in Madrid by at least two goals to have any chance of qualifying. If City wins by a goal, the match will drag into extra time.

With that said, the English side is remarkably consistent as they have made it to at least the quarterfinals in the last seven seasons of the tournament.
