Manchester City defeated Real Madrid 2-1 at the Bernabeu, marking Pep Guardiola’s seventh victory at the stadium.
Real Madrid initially took the lead through Rodrygo, but City staged a comeback with goals from Nico O’Reilly and an Erling Haaland penalty.
The result places further pressure on Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso, as his team suffered a second consecutive home defeat and displayed defensive vulnerabilities.
Haaland converted a penalty for his 21st goal of the season, before Nico O’Reilly, an England international, scored the second.
Real Madrid’s star striker Kylian Mbappe was absent due to an ankle injury but, despite creating late opportunities, they were unable to find an equaliser
