The play-offs for this year’s UEFA Champions League ended last night with perennial winners Real Madrid dispatching English giants Manchester City, 6-3 on aggregate.
Man City had lost the first leg of the encounter 3-2 a week ago and faced an uphill task turning the tide at the Santiago Bernabeu.
But a hattrick from French forward Kylian Mbappe sealed their fate as they slumped 3-1 to Carlos Ancelotti’s men.
In another game on the night, Dutch champions PSV Eindhoven defeated Juventus to enter the last 16. PSG also won against fellow French side Brest to move to the next round of Europe’s elite competition.
Games were also played on Tuesday in the Champions League play-offs.
