Manchester City Out Of UCL by success1smyn(m): 7:52am On Mar 16, 2017 |
Manchester City are out of the Champions
League after Monaco struck late to seal a
thrilling away-goals victory, which ended
6-6 on aggregate.
The English side were 13 minutes from a
place in the quarter-finals after clawing
themselves back into a second leg their
hosts had dominated, but slack marking from
a set-piece allowed Tiemoue Bakayoko to
head home the decisive goal.
Having won the competition twice in his time
at Barcelona, this is the first time in manager
Pep Guardiola's career that he has gone out
at this stage.
Monaco lost 5-3 in an extraordinary first leg
in Manchester but dominated the first half at
the Stade Louis II and opened the scoring
through the excellent Kylian Mbappe's poked
finish from close range.
The Ligue 1 side, who had scored 123 goals
so far this season, deservedly doubled their
advantage on the night, punishing City's
sluggish start through Fabinho's crisp strike.
City failed to muster any sort of shot in the
opening 45 minutes and it took until the 65th
minute for Sergio Aguero to call goalkeeper
Danijel Subasic into a sharp save.
They forced their way into the game - and
back into the aggregate lead - as Leroy Sane
swept in when Subasic parried Raheem
Sterling's low strike, but their defence could
not hold out.
The result leaves Premier League champions
Leicester City as the only English team in the
last eight.
Monaco join the Foxes, holders Real Madrid,
last year's runners-up Atletico Madrid,
Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Borussia
Dortmund and Juventus in Friday's draw. source: m.bbc.com/sport/football/39248906 |
