Mbappé Shines with Hat-Trick as Real Madrid Eliminates Manchester City

Real Madrid advances to the Champions League Round of 16 after a dominant 3-1 victory over Manchester City, with Kylian Mbappé delivering a stellar performance.

Kylian Mbappé scored a hat-trick, marking his 5th, 6th, and 7th goals in this season's Champions League, as Real Madrid defeated Manchester City 3-1 at Santiago Bernabeu.
Real Madrid showcased a commanding performance, controlling 70% possession at one point and maintaining defensive stability throughout the match.
Manchester City struggled to pose a threat, managing only one shot on target, while key players like Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne remained on the bench.
Jude Bellingham received a yellow card, ruling him out of the first leg of the Round of 16, a minor setback for an otherwise dominant Madrid team.
