Vinicius brace helps Arbeloa make Real Madrid history against Manchester City | OneFootball

Manchester City fell to a 2-1 defeat against Real Madrid in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday evening, losing 5-1 on aggregate.

With the result, Alvaro Arbeloa became the first Madrid manager to win each of his first four matches in the knockout stages of the competition.

Madrid were the first to threaten when Gianluigi Donnarumma came off his line to thwart Federico Valverde.

City responded swiftly, with Jeremy Doku’s effort ricocheting off Thibaut Courtois, before the Belgian parried Rodri’s shot behind for a corner.

Bernardo Silva was sent off in the 21st for a handball that denied a goalscoring opportunity. Vinicius Junior converted the resulting penalty to give Madrid the lead.

City nearly got an immediate response through Erling Haaland, but Courtois was equal to the task.

The Norwegian restored parity in the 41st minute, picking out the far corner after Doku’s cross kindly fell into his path.

Haaland forced substitute goalkeper Andriy Lunin into an early second half save.

At the other end, Donnarumma made a fine save, parrying Aurelien Tchouameni’s glancing header from a corner over the bar.

Lunin showed impressive reaction to keep out Rayan Ait-Nouri powerful goalbound shot in the 78th minute.

Vinicius sealed Madrid’s victory in stoppage-time, volleying Tchouameni’s precise delivery past Donnarumma.

Los Blancos will face the winner of the tie between Bayern Munich and Atalanta in the quarter-finals.
