"The key moment then occurred in the 20th minute, when Silva was shown red following a VAR review for elbowing the ball on the line, and Vinicius made no mistake as he sent Donnarumma the wrong way with the resulting penalty."
"City produced 1.91 expected goals (xG) from 22 shots to Madrid's 2.93 from 14 shots, and a combined eight big chances in the second leg."
"And just moments after Vinicius saw a goal ruled out for offside in stoppage time, he added a second with a first-time finish from Tchouameni's cross in the 93rd minute as Madrid got the better of City once again."
Real Madrid progressed to the Champions League quarter-finals by defeating Manchester City 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium, completing a dominant 5-1 aggregate victory. The decisive moment came in the 20th minute when Bernardo Silva received a red card following a VAR review for a handball on the line. Vinicius Junior converted the resulting penalty, then added a second goal in the 93rd minute from Tchouameni's cross. Erling Haaland scored City's consolation goal in the 41st minute. Despite City's efforts and shot volume, Madrid's clinical finishing and defensive resilience proved decisive. Goalkeeper changes occurred when Courtois suffered an injury, replaced by Lunin.
