Real Madrid set a number of noteworthy records.

Man City and Real Madrid drew 1-1 in the second leg of their quarterfinal Champions League match at Etihad Stadium Wednesday morning (April 18, Vietnam time), making the final score 4-4. The first goal was scored by Rodrygo (12′), and “The Citizens” equalized in the 76th minute by Kevin De Bruyne.

Both teams had to go to a penalty shootout as a result of this outcome. Real won the “shootout” 4-3. Two Man City players that failed to convert a penalty are Bernardo Silva and Mateo Kovacic. Luka Modric was the only member of the “White Vultures” side to miss a penalty kιck.

Real Madrid advances straight to the 2023–24 Champions League semifinals thanks to this win. Bayern Munich will be coach Carlo Ancelotti’s next opponent.

Real Madrid has now advanced to the Champions League knockout phase three times in its history following a loss in the home leg of the match. They had previously done this when they faced MU in the first round of the 2012–13 season in the quarterfinals of the 1999–2000 season.

Six reigning Champions League winners have already lost to Real Madrid in the knockout stage. This accomplishment is at least twice as high as any other club in the history of the competition.

Real Madrid has advanced to the Champions League semifinals the most times in history—17 times total—up to this moment. Bayern Munich is in second place with 13 wins.

Eight of Real Madrid’s Champions League games ended in overtime. In total, “Los Blancos” has won six times.

This is the first season since the 2019–20 campaign that no Premier League team has advanced to the Champions League semifinals.

In seven meetings versus Man City, Rodrygo Goes scored four goals. The Brazilian striker has “teared” the blue half of Manchester more than any other Real player in history, along with Karim Benzema.

Rodrygo has already contributed to seven goals in the Champions League this season (2023–24; five goals, two assists), matching his own best output over the previous three seasons.

After 49 games for Real Madrid, Rodrygo, at 23 years old, was directly involved in 30 goals (20 goals, 10 assists) in the Champions League. He only started thirty of these games.

In the Champions League, Kevin De Bruyne has “imprinted” eight goals against Real Madrid (4 goals, 4 assists), which is equal to the feat of previous star player Giovane Elber (4 goals, 4 assists).

De Bruyne helped Man City reach the Champions League knockout phase with 13 goals and 11 assists. This is the greatest accomplishment a player has ever made for a Premier League team.
