Manchester City did not manage the feat; in fact, Real Madrid advanced to the next round after a great match at the Etihad Stadium, ending 1-2 for the Blancos. The qualification discussion was essentially closed after 20 minutes when Bernardo Silva received a red card for a handball on the goal line, paving the way for Real Madrid.

The match saw the first goal by Vinicius from a penalty, with a provocation to which Haaland responded, also in the first half. After a slew of disallowed goals on both sides, Real Madrid won the match again thanks to Vinicius with a brace on the last useful ball. Fourth elimination in five meetings with Real for Manchester City.

In the quarterfinals, for Arbeloa, Bayern Munich awaits to formalize the qualification against Atalanta.
