Manchester City v LiverpoolPep Guardiola’s City were dumped out of the UEFA Champions League in the knockout phase round on Wednesday by Real Madrid, as Kylian Mbappe tore them to shreds in the Santiago Bernabeu.

Real Madrid have won the away first leg of a European tie on 40 occasions. If Pep Guardiola wants a sense of how hard the task ahead of them is it is perhaps encapsulated in one statistic -- only on two of the previous 39 occasions have Los Merengues been eliminated from European competition.
