In one moment, all hope came crashing down... Man City's 2-1 defeat by Real Madrid could be the last time Pep Guardiola takes charge of the club in this competition, writes OLIVER HOLT
Rayan Cherki hit a snap-shot straight at Thibaut Courtois, Courtois produced a brilliant save from a Rodri thunderbolt and Dean Huijsen blocked a shot from Tijjani Reijnders. Haaland thought he had scored with a close-range shot but Courtois, again, produced a stunning save. This could be the last time Pep Guardiola manages Manchester City in the Champions LeagueAmid the chaos, Guardiola was booked for dissent. City kept pressing for a second, a goal that would at least give them victory on the night. Kylian Mbappe, who had been missing through injury in the first leg, came on for a cameo and was booked.
