Man City vs Real Madrid free streams: how to watch the 2025/26 Champions League second leg

Fede Valverde ran riot in the first leg to put Real Madrid 3-0 ahead and into the Champions League quarter-finals. This is the 36th time they have played a European second leg with a lead of three or more goals – on the previous 35 occasions they have held on. Pep Guardiola, meanwhile, last overturned a first-leg deficit in the UCL Round of 16 over a decade ago, suffering five exits in such circumstances in the years since.

Erling Haaland has scored 56 goals in 57 Champions League matches but, shackled by Antonio Rudiger and Dean Huijsen, he failed to register a single shot in last week’s draw. And when the big Norwegian doesn’t score, more often than not, this pale iteration of Man City doesn’t either.
