Champions League Results: Man City 1-2 Real Madrid (1-5)
Real Madrid advanced with a commanding aggregate margin after a clinical night in Manchester. Vinicius converted from the penalty spot following a red card for Silva, tilting the contest decisively. Erling Haaland briefly levelled to offer City hope, but Vinicius struck again late to restore Madrid’s lead on the night and seal the tie.
The defeat continues a difficult pattern for City in this fixture. It is the fourth time in five seasons that the English side have been knocked out of this competition by the Spanish team, underlining the recurring challenge posed by Madrid at this stage.
For City, the numbers tell the story: one goal over two legs against five conceded, with the second half of the home leg slipping away once reduced to ten men. Madrid, meanwhile, managed the key moments, first from the spot and then with a late finish to close the door.
Chelsea 0-3 PSG (2-8): Visitors In Complete Control
PSG completed a dominant performance across both legs with a three-goal win in London. An early opener from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia set the tone before Bradley Barcola doubled the lead. Senny Mayulu then added a third, capping a sweeping move that began with Kvaratskhelia accelerating down the left and finding Achraf Hakimi, with the loose ball dropping for Mayulu to lash into the top corner.
The margin over the two matches reflected PSG’s superiority in and out of possession, with Chelsea’s attempts to build attacks repeatedly broken up. Frustration grew in the stands during the second half as errors crept in and the visitors continued to find space. By the final whistle, the aggregate stood at 8-2, leaving no doubt about the outcome of the tie.
Arsenal 2-0 Leverkusen (3-1) And Sporting 5-0 Bodo/Glimt aet (5-3)
Arsenal produced a controlled display to see off Leverkusen. Eze opened the scoring with a superb strike before Declan Rice made it two, rewarding a performance built on winning duels and smothering attacks in the penalty area. The aggregate finished 3-1, with the English side in command for long stretches.
In Portugal, Sporting delivered the night’s biggest swing. Trailing on aggregate before extra time, they surged to a 5-0 win on the evening and 5-3 overall, a forceful fightback that ended Bodo/Glimt’s run. The emphatic extra-time display turned a precarious situation into a statement victory.
Taken together, these champions league results highlight how sharply fortunes diverged across the four ties: City and Chelsea out after conclusive scorelines, while Arsenal advanced with authority and Sporting overturned their deficit in dramatic fashion.
