Manchester City's hopes of retaining the Champions League were dashed in a thrilling quarter-final clash against Real Madrid at the Etihad Stadium, culminating in a penalty shootout.

Real Madrid took an early lead through Rodrygo's strike, but City responded with relentless pressure on their opponent's goal.

Kevin de Bruyne finally found the equalizer 14 minutes from time, capitalizing on Antonio Rudiger's clearance.

Despite City's dominance, they struggled to find the finishing touch, allowing Real Madrid to hold on and force the match into a penalty shootout.

While Luka Modric missed Real's first penalty, City faltered as Bernardo Silva and substitute Mateo Kovacic failed to convert their spot-kicks, with keeper Andriy Lunin making crucial saves.

Former Chelsea defender Rudiger then stepped up to secure victory for Real Madrid.

The defeat ended City's quest for another Treble, comprising the Champions League, Premier League, and FA Cup titles. They must now regroup for their FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea at Wembley on Saturday.
