89 min: Penalty shout for Manchester Metropolis! Brahim Diaz elbows McAtee simply inside Madrid’s space. McAtee hits the deck, that is certainly a penalty! No! The referee misses the incident and VAR chooses to not flag it. It’s immaterial with the scoreline however that’s completely weird, as Guardiola is making clear to the fourth official!

87 min: For all their pretty play tonight, Madrid have dug in on the uncommon events the place they’ve wanted to. Valverde and Asencio have been relentless. As I write that, Courtois takes one within the gonads.

67 min: It’s completed at Villa Park. Aston Villa 2-2 Liverpool.

65 min: It’s not the truth that Metropolis have gone out right here. It’s the style of the defeat. The gamers regarded like they’ve downed instruments. I by no means really thought that Guardiola would go away Metropolis, even after all of the troubles this season. However watching this, I can now simply see him departing on the finish of the season.

63 min: Positive, Madrid have been too good. However that is an embarrassing means for Metropolis to exit of the Champions League, even with their accidents. This stays an costly squad, packed filled with skilled internationals and with an elite supervisor, and so they have proven all of the gusto of a cat draped throughout a windowsill.

51 min: Metropolis are in a low block defensively as they attempt to keep at bay a 3rd Madrid objective of the night. Rodrygo hits a fierce drive from 25 yards out, straight at Ederson, earlier than Valverde crosses dangerously in direction of Rudiger (!) on the again submit. Solely a vital clearance from Dias retains the combination rating at 5-2.

49 min: Metropolis chasing shadows as Rodrygo flashes a shot over the bar. With each participant, Madrid appear to have two or three passes on in every part of play.

47 min: Nico Gonzalez lets the ball slip below his foot, and the brand new Manchester Metropolis signing rugby tackles Vini Jr to the bottom to halt a harmful Actual Madrid counter-attack for the obvious reserving of the night. Not a great begin from Metropolis.
