Manchester City were denied the chance to play Champions League football this season as they fell short against a dominant Real Madrid. Caroline Weir came back to haunt her former side, slotting home the winner at Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano.
Real Madrid took full advantage of a home crowd, which cheered them on, and the stands weren’t the only place they dominated. Madrid saw a large part of the ball in the first half in a showdown between two heavyweights of the game. Olga Carmona very nearly got the Spaniards on the scoresheet inside 10 minutes, her volley, which was destined for the top corner, palmed away brilliantly by Ellie Roebuck.
