Real Madrid sealed their place in the Champions League quarterfinals with a 2–1 win over Manchester City on Tuesday night, wrapping up a 5–1 aggregate victory.
Holding a 3–0 advantage from the first leg, Madrid needed a steady performance away from home, and the match tilted in their favour early when Bernardo Silva was sent off in the 20th minute for denying a clear scoring chance. Vinicius Junior stepped up to convert the resulting penalty, easing any early nerves for the visitors.
Erling Haaland gave City a glimmer of hope with a goal just before halftime, but the deficit proved too much to overcome. Vinicius struck again late in the game to secure the win and put the result beyond doubt, sending the Spanish giants comfortably into the next round.
