Manchester City's season continues to hit new lows as Real Madrid snapped their 35-game unbeaten streak at home in the Champions League.

In 2024, the clubs' fifth knockout-round meeting in less than a decade ended in a penalty shootout. Real Madrid won it, and went on to win the entire competition. That year, like in prior years, the City-Madrid showdown felt like the final before the final.

Manchester City fans taunted Real Madrid and Vinicius Junior ahead of their Champions League playoff on Tuesday by unfurling a giant banner of Rodri kissing the Ballon d'Or. The Spain midfielder was voted the best player in the world last year ahead of Madrid forward Vinicius.
