The winners of the Champions League cup from the previous 2 years – “Manchester City” and “Real” (Madrid) did not allow any surprises and qualified for the 1/4-finals.
The English team, which is the current winner of the trophy, also defeated the Danish “Copenhagen” at home with 3:1.
By the 9th minute, the “citizens” were leading 2:0 after goals from Manuel Akanji and Julian Alvarez. Mohamed Eliunoussi reduced for the visitors in the 29th minute.
However, Erling Braut Holland scored another goal in overtime for the final 3:1.
Thus, “City” became the first team in history to score 3 or more goals in 9 consecutive matches of the most prestigious European tournament.
“Real” was not so convincing, but 1:1 at “Santiago Bernabeu” against “RB Leipzig” proved to be enough. In Germany, the Spanish giant had won.
Vinicius Junior hit Willy Orban off the ball but was only shown a yellow card in the 61st minute and 4 later opened the scoring for Real.
It was Orban who equalized in the 68th minute.
The German team should be sorry, because again, as in the first match, in which they made 9 accurate shots at the goal of “Real”, they played well and failed to punish the Madrid players.
