Nico O’Reilly’s maiden Champions League goal and a penalty earned and converted by Erling Haaland in the first half saw visitors Manchester City come from behind to beat Real Madrid 2-1 on Wednesday. Without injured superstar Kylian Mbappe, Real took the lead through Rodrygo, who broke his goal-scoring duck after 32 games across competitions. The victory pushed Pep Guardiola’s side up to fourth in the Champions League standings with 13 points from six games, while Real Madrid dropped to seventh with 12 points after suffering their second straight defeat in all competitions, mounting pressure on coach Xabi Alonso.
