Conclusion:
The defending champions were eliminated in the Champions League quarter-finals! Real Madrid beat Manchester City 4-3 away on penalties. In the early stages of the encounter, the Spaniards did a good job and took the lead through Rodrygo after just twelve minutes. City then turned up the heat, but were too harmless in the finish.
After the break, the constant bombardment of the Skyblues did not subside, the English pressed vehemently for the equalizer, which Kevin De Bruyne more than deserved in the 76th minute. The home side were unable to capitalize on their visual preponderance, so extra time was necessary. Here the strength increasingly dwindled, after 30 minutes of the game the CL thriller finally ended in a penalty shootout. There, Real keeper Lunin became the guarantee for the triumph of Guardiola's team. Germany international Antonio Rüdiger sank the decisive penalty. Real Madrid will now face FC Bayern Munich in the semi-finals.

1-0: Madrid's Luka Modric against Ederson. The Skyblue keeper parries!
1-0: Julian Alvarez is the first goalscorer for City – and he scores confidently. Andriy Lunin has no chance.
Extra time over, 1-1: penalty shootout has to decide
120th minute + 1: Final whistle! It goes to penalties. Now the two star trainers have to decide the order of their shooters.
120th minute: One minute of injury time left.
120th minute: Julian Alvaret appears in front of the Real goal, but his shot is placed too centrally. No problem for Lunin.
118th minute: Real tries through Modirc, but his cross ends up going wide. The strength seems to be dwindling on both sides, but there is still a lot of intensity in what is happening.
115th minute: Five minutes separate both colors from the penalty shootout.
Goalscorer De Bruyne leaves the field, double substitution at ManCity
113th minute: First good offensive action from Kovacic, which Rüdiger can barely block five meters in front of the Real goal.
112th minute: Double change now at ManCity: 1-1 goalscorer Kevin De Bruyne and Manual Akanji leave the pitch. John Stones and Mateo Kovacic are new to the game.
110th minute: Dani Carvajal limps off the field, it's over for the defensive player. The Brazilian Eder Gabriel Militao comes into play for him.
106th minute: Let's continue!
No goals in the first half of overtime
105th minute + 1: The score remains 1-1 after the first half of extra time. Will the decision still be made in the game or will there have to be a penalty shootout? There are still 15 minutes of play left to complete.
105th minute + 2: Antonio Rüdiger suddenly appears in front of City keeper Ederson and has his colors 2-1 down. The ball bounces just over the goal. Nevertheless: Madrid can still set an offensive tone!
105th minute + 1: Real moves and earns the second corner of the game. However, this fizzles out.
105th minute: Two minutes of added time are shown.
102nd minute: Vincius Junior takes a seat on the Real bench. Lucas Vazquez is new to the game.
Walker clears well in front of Vincius Junior
100th minute: Vincius Junior storms towards the City penalty area, but Walker intercepts him brilliantly and clears the situation.
99th minute: You can't stand more freely in the opponent's box: City star Foden gets the ball, but his shot is far too harmless.
97th minute: The Spaniards' last notable offensive finish was now over 45 minutes ago.
95th minute: It remains the same: City stays in possession of the ball and works on the visitors' defense.
91st minute: Haaland is allowed to end his working day and Julian Alvarez takes his place. Real is not changing for the time being.
1:1 after 90 minutes: extra time is needed
90th minute + 4: 1:1, it goes into extra time! The Skyblues more than deserved the equalizer in the second half. They were by far the more agile team, but at times they didn't finish well enough. Will Guardiola's team keep up the pressure in the additional 30 minutes? And can Real Madrid think of anything else? Who will face FC Bayern in the semi-finals, who also won 1-0 against Arsenal? We'll know more soon.
90th minute + 4: There is one last corner for ManCity! The stoppage time was over, the ball landed at Haaland, but he lifted it over the goal.
90th minute + 3: There are hardly any compelling goal area scenes in stoppage time.
It smells like extension
90th minute: Four minutes of added time are shown. As of now, there should be extra time – or will there still be a goal?
88th minute: Already the 14th corner for ManCity. Haaland finds this, but he cannot bring the ball to the Royal goal with enough precision. Manchester obviously has little desire for an extension and would like to force the decision.
85th minute: Five more minutes without added time. The home team still has the reins and the offensive pressure is high. Madrid seems to be lacking ideas and seems to be busy with defensive work.
84th minute: Next Real change: Brahim Diaz comes on for Rodrygo.
De Bruyne is running hot, Ancelotti sends Modric
82nd minute: De Bruyne again. The Belgian has complete freedom to move from eleven meters and puts the ball over the goal. He can hardly believe it himself.
80th minute: First change for Madrid. Carlo Ancelotti sends Luka Modric onto the pitch for Toni Kroos.
79th minute: That was close! De Bruyne again, this time from over 20 minutes and just over the Real goal!
77th minute: Currently, including the first leg, the score in this semi-final duel is 4:4. One thing is clear: a winner still has to be found tonight.
Compensation! De Bruyne scores the 1-1 for Manchester
76th minute: 1:1 – goal! It was more than hinted at and is now anything but undeserved: Kevin De Bruyne intercepts Rüdiger's attempted clearance in the Real penalty area and nets the equalizer from five meters!
75th minute: Really you can't deny the fighting spirit. The Whites are pushed backwards a lot, they stand deep, but they throw themselves tirelessly into every ball.
City reacts, first change: striker Doku comes on for Grealish
72nd minute: The extremely eye-catching and active Jack Grealish leaves, and Belgian striker Jeremy Doku comes into play for City.
71st minute: Real's first small chance after the break, but City keeper Ederson intercepts the ball before things get tricky.
70th minute: Grealish shoots Lunin directly at Lunin from about twelve meters from a promising position.
Manchester with 64 percent possession
65th minute: Here's something for the statisticians: City has 64 percent possession of the ball so far. The goal-scoring record is 16:6 in favor of the British.
63rd minute: Short break in the game, referee Daniele Orsato is shot and has to collect himself briefly. But it can continue.
62nd minute: The game moves a little to the middle of the pitch. Did Real survive the English team's first storm and stress phase in the second half?
58th minute: Real can hardly keep the ball and there are always losses. The Guardiola team is pressing hard and wants to force the score 1-1 with all their might.
City is running, equalization is in the air
55th minute: The equalizer is in the air, Real is swimming! This time another City corner comes dangerously into the penalty area, but Madrid's defense can still clear.
53rd minute: Madrid keeper Lunin doesn't get bored. Now he is tested by Foden from almost 14 meters, but the keeper saves safely. Real can hardly get it out of their own half.
51st minute: Real captain Nacho clears the ball in front of Haaland!
50th minute: Grealish again and again, again and again on the left side. Manchester storms, but remains without Fortune.
47th minute: City continues to build steam and secures the first corner in the second half. Grealish fails with a volley, but Manchester remains in possession of the ball. The home team's attacking efforts have so far lacked the final bite.
46th minute: There were no changes during the break, the starting lineups remain on the pitch.
46th minute: We continue with the quarter-final second leg of the premier class!
Real lead at the break, but City put the pressure on
45th minute + 2: Break in Manchester! Real Madrid is leading 1-0 thanks to Rodrygo's early goal (12th) and would now be in the semi-finals. But: ManCity gradually increased the pressure after falling behind, found numerous shots and has by no means given up here. It remains exciting!
45th minute: Two minutes of added time. City keeps increasing the pressure. This time Phil Foden takes the shot from a distance, but the ball whizzes over the Real goal.
Lunin can clear a direct corner
45th minute: Already the eighth corner for ManCity and it comes straight away. Lunin can just barely direct the ball over the box.
43rd minute: Short treatment time for the goalscorer Rodrygo, who apparently was caught in the face. But things continue for him.
41st minute: City remains dangerous and continues to come up with more offensive actions.
38th minute: Real defender Carvajal is shown a yellow card after a foul on Grealish. His third in the current competition. If Madrid qualify, he would be suspended for the first semi-final game. A subsequent City free kick achieves nothing.
Rüdiger thwarts City's great opportunity
36th minute: Quick City attack via Haaland and Grealish, which is, however, decisively disrupted by DFB defensive ace Rüdiger.
33rd minute: The Skyblues have eight shots on goal so far, Real has five - but they have the only goal of the encounter so far.
31st minute: Madrid's offensive department has by no means switched off and is making pinpricks here and there on the counterattack.
28th minute: Manchester again, Haaland again: The offensive star once again uses his head to make the move, but the ball poses no danger to Lunin.
Manchester presses for the equalizer: double chance for De Bruyne
27th minute: Now the Belgian apparently wants to know: This time De Bruyne takes a swing from around 15 meters, but again finds his master in Lunin.
26th minute: Now City is moving forward again: De Bruyne tries a volley from twelve meters, but fails because of Lunin.
24th minute: City speculates on offside, but miscalculates. Valverde finishes from a distance, but his deflected shot ends up well outside the home team's goal.
21st minute: After Rodrygo's early blow, Man City gradually takes control.
19th minute: That was almost the English answer! Haaland heads the ball against the crossbar after a very strong City move! The ball then lands at Bernardo Silva, but he misses from close range.
Real takes the lead: Rodrygo strikes
12th minute: Too bad! 1-0 from Real’s perspective
–
the Royals have struck! Rodrygo reaches for a beautiful ball relay and scores in the second attempt.
10th minute: First real goal of the game: Camavinga tries for Real from 25 meters, but Ederson is not deterred.
8th minute: De Bruyne manages to get the ball into the visitors' penalty area for the first time. Madrid's keeper Lunin intercepts the ball.
5th minute: Manchester City gets off to a slightly better start and has more possession. The Real defense has not allowed anything so far.
1st minute: Let's start with the showdown for the semi-finals in Manchester!

Manchester City against Real Madrid in the live ticker: Will the defending champions knock the Spaniards out of the competition again?
First report from April 17th:
Manchester - For many observers, the pairing of Manchester City against Real Madrid is an early final in this year's Champions League season. Anyone who had already warned about this before the spectacular first leg probably felt even more confirmed after the 3-3 draw in Madrid. In the legendary Bernabeu, football enthusiasts got their money's worth last week and were able to click their tongues with pleasure.
Both colors had an impressive exchange of blows with a whopping three lead changes within 90 minutes. Eight days later, the Skyblues led by star coach Pep Guardiola and the La Liga leaders from Madrid, coached by Carlo Ancelotti, meet again (TV information can be found here) to decide on the available semi-final slot.
Manchester City versus Real Madrid in the live ticker today: Who will advance to the semi-finals?
The two teams had already clashed in the Champions League knockout phase last year. At that time, the English, who ultimately secured the title, triumphed confidently 4-0 in the semi-final second leg after a 1-1 draw in their first meeting.
This time too, the Guardiola team are doing something impressive in front of their home crowd, especially since they have been unbeaten in 41 home games. The fact that ManCity was able to climb to the top spot in the Premier League last weekend should also provide a boost - also thanks to the mistakes made by Arsenal and Liverpool.
Real Madrid believes in itself, Rüdiger meets Haaland again
On the other hand, Real are of course optimistic that they can make up for last year's playoff disgrace against Manchester. "It's not a fantastic starting situation, but everything is still open," says Carlo Ancelotti, who has won the Champions League four times as a coach, according to
Sportschau
and adds: "We'll win it because of our attitude."
It will be exciting to see whether Real will again be able to neutralize City's exceptional striker Erling Haaland over long stretches. Last week it was mainly thanks to the efforts of German international Antonio Rüdiger that the Norwegian remained rather pale. Ancelotti already promised: “Rüdiger will play the second leg.”
