Mbappe bags hat-trick as Manchester City crash out of Champions League

Kylian Mbappe was the star of the night as Real Madrid eliminate Manchester City from the Champions League with a dominant 3-1 win at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Mbappe’s goals saw City cash out early for the first time in 12 years.

The French forward opened the scoring in the fourth minute with a fine lob over Ederson before adding two more goals.

City, missing key players like Erling Haaland from the starting lineup, struggled to cope with Real’s attacking firepower.

Despite a late goal from Nico Gonzalez, Pep Guardiola’s side was outclassed, marking a disappointing end to their European campaign.

Real Madrid, the competition’s record holders, now advance to the next stage as they chase another Champions League title.
