Madrid started the game in excellent fashion, with Kylian Mbappe latching onto a long ball over the top in the fourth minute before lobbing Ederson in the City goal. They then doubled their advantage in the 33rd minute, with Mbappe collecting the ball on the edge of the box before dribbling past defenders and finishing.

Kylian Mbappe scored early and often on Wednesday, as Real Madrid built upon their first-leg lead and sent Manchester City flying from the UEFA Champions League.

Real Madrid have won the away first leg of a European tie on 40 occasions. If Pep Guardiola wants a sense of how hard the task ahead of them is it is perhaps encapsulated in one statistic -- only on two of the previous 39 occasions have Los Merengues been eliminated from European competition.
