Manchester City lost 1-3 to Real Madrid, Guardiola: Congratulations to Real Madrid

Kylian Mbappe became the hero for Real Madrid as his brilliant hat-trick helped the team beat Manchester City 3-1 in the second leg of the Champions League knockout match and advance to the next round with a total score of 6-3.

Guardiola's team led in the first leg until the 86th minute, but lost two goals in the final stage and missed the advantage. At the Bernabeu, Real Madrid showed their Champions League background and completely controlled the rhythm of the game.

After the game, Guardiola was quite calm in an interview with TNT Sports: "We accept this result. The best team won, so congratulations to Real Madrid, and now we have to turn our attention back to the Premier League."

"This is the first time we haven't performed well in the Champions League and we accept that and work hard to get back here next season."

"We have been lucky enough to compete in this tournament for many years, and we have won a championship and reached the final. But this season, we are still a long way from the top. We will have to wait and see what happens in the future."

Less than four minutes into the game, Mbappe got the Bernabeu stadium buzzing. He used a simple overhead kick to shake off the Manchester City defense and calmly lobbed the ball into the goal after Ruben Dias made a mistake, giving Real Madrid a dream start.

Manchester City's nightmare is not over yet. John Stones left the field due to injury after a seemingly ordinary confrontation, making Guardiola's defense even worse.

Real Madrid continued to create threats, and Mbappe once again used his speed to shake off Diaz, forcing Ederson to make a key save. In the 34th minute, the French striker scored again to expand the score.

During an attack, Rodrigo made a brilliant short pass, Mbappe received the ball and feinted past Gvardiol, causing the latter to fall to the ground, then he calmly shot and scored, extending the lead to 2-0.

In the 60th minute, Mbappe scored a hat trick, completely killing the suspense of the game. He received the ball on the right, easily got rid of Foden without being marked, and then shot low into the far corner to help Real Madrid lead 3-0.

It wasn't until the last 15 minutes of the game that Manchester City started to improve. In the first 60 minutes, they didn't even have a shot on target. In the stoppage time, Omar Marmouche's free kick hit the crossbar, and Nico Gonzalez scored. VAR reviewed the goal and confirmed that the goal was valid. In the end, Manchester City lost 1-3 and was eliminated with a total score of 3-6.
