Real Madrid handled business at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday night, securing a 2–1 win over Manchester City to advance to the Champions League quarterfinals 5–1 on aggregate.
After winning the first leg 3–0 at the Bernabéu, Los Blancos only needed to avoid a catastrophic collapse away from home to advance in their favorite competition. They looked shaky at best in the early stages of the match, but everything fell into place quite nicely for the visitors after Bernardo Silva was sent off in the 20th minute for the denial of a goalscoring opportunity.
