On February 18-19, the return-leg matches of the UEFA Champions League playoff round are taking place, determining all the teams advancing to the Round of 16.
At the Santiago Bernabéu, Real Madrid is hosting Manchester City for the decisive second leg. The match started perfectly for the home side, as Kylian Mbappé put Los Blancos ahead in the 4th minute.
Interestingly, Mbappé's goal against Man City is the earliest Real Madrid goal in the UEFA Champions League since Cristiano Ronaldo’s strike against Juventus in April 2018.
In addition, Kylian has scored in Real Madrid's seventh home game in a row.
Notably, in the first leg in Manchester, Real Madrid secured a hard-fought 3-2 victory. Previously, we reported that Carlo Ancelotti and Pep Guardiola made Champions League history in an unusual way.
