Why do we watch football? In the days following Manchester City's gut-wrenching exit from the Champions League, it's a question City fans have no doubt asked themselves.

While far from their best at the Bernabeu, for 89 minutes it looked like City had done enough. And then it all fell apart. A mad 80 seconds left City stunned, unable to react as Madrid went on to score a third and leave them empty-handed.
