Real Madrid 3-3 Manchester City key stats

Here are all the key stats you may have missed from Manchester City’s draw with Real Madrid:

  • Real Madrid 3-3 Manchester City was only the fourth time in the Champions League that both teams have scored three or more goals in the first leg of two-legged knockout stage tie, with the previous instance also being between these two sides (Manchester City 4-3 Real Madrid in the 2021-22 semi-finals).
  • Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is winless in his past three matches at the Santiago Bernabeu against Real Madrid (D2 L1) - his longest run of games there as the visiting coach without a victory (W6 D2 L1 in his first nine).
  • Tuesday’s game was only the second ever knockout stage match in the Champions League to see three goals scored in the opening 14 minutes of play (Real Madrid 2-1 Manchester City), after Man City v Tottenham in April 2019 (2-2 after 11 minutes).
  • Phil Foden has scored six goals from outside the box for Manchester City this season - the most of any player for a Premier League club across all competitions.
