Man City Women out of Champions League as Caroline Weir eliminates former club

Manchester City Women have been knocked out of the Champions League after they lost 1-0 to Real Madrid as Caroline Weir scored against her old club.

It was written in the stars ahead of kick-off for the former City player to break Blues’ hearts, and it took just 15 minutes for Weir to find the scoresheet. It was a lovely finish from the Scot as she perfectly controlled a cross to feet, calmly spun her marker on the penalty spot before firing the ball into the top corner past the helpless Ellie Roebuck in goal.

It was the type of finish that reminded City fans why she was nominated for Fifa’s Puskas award for Goal of the Year two seasons running during her time at the club.
