JUST IN: Man City thrash Real Madrid 4-2 aggregate to qualify for quarterfinals
Manchester City reached the Champions League quarter-finals after knocking out record 13-time winners Real Madrid.
Leading 2-1 from the first leg, City extended their aggregate lead through Raheem Sterling’s close-range finish after Raphael Varane’s mistake.
Karim Benzema equalised on the night with a header but Brazil forward Gabriel Jesus made it 4-2 on aggregate after another shocking error by Varane.
City will play Lyon in a one-off quarter-final tie on 15 August.
It is the third successive season Pep Guardiola’s side, who finished second in the Premier League table, have reached the last eight in Europe’s premier club knockout competition.
City, seeking to win the Champions League for the first time, have not reached the semi-finals since 2015-16, when they were knocked out by Real Madrid.
