Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti strolled nonchalantly away from a scene of carnage as Manchester City’s Treble dream was left in tatters by the great Champions League survivors.

Real went through 4-3 on penalties after the tie ended 4-4 on aggregate, 1-1 on the night here, but City will wonder long and hard at how they failed to win a game they dominated almost completely.

City have suffered pain in the Champions League before and there will certainly be wounds from the way this frenetic, compelling game was lost.

The immediate task for manager Pep Guardiola is to make sure the fatigue and disappointment left behind here does not spill over into what is now a quest for a domestic double of the Premier League and FA Cup, with a semi-final against Chelsea in the latter at Wembley on Saturday.

At the finale, the great Italian statesman Ancelotti offered a consoling arm to Guardiola, giving the impression this was just another day at the office, which does not accurately reflect a frantic, chaotic encounter.

City’s players slumped in despair as Antonio Rudiger’s penalty secured a semi-final against Bayern Munich, while what seemed like dozens of Real players and officials headed off to their supporters tucked in the far corner of Etihad Stadium.

City thrashed Real 4-0 here in the semi-final second leg last season, revenge for Ancelotti’s side somehow extricating themselves from defeat with two stoppage-time goals before going on to win at the Bernabeu at the same stage in the previous campaign.

In that hammering last term, City had 16 shots to Real’s seven, here they had 33 shots to the visitors’ eight but this time came out on the losing end.

It came down, as it always does at this level, to the finest details and City’s lack of cutting edge stood between them and a victory they deserved on the balance of play.

They even had the early edge on penalties when Ederson saved from Luka Modric but only Bernardo Silva will know what he was thinking when he lazily lofted a dismal spot-kick straight into the hands of keeper Andriy Lunin.

If you give Real an inch they take a mile, Mateo Kovacic’s penalty, again saved by the excellent Lunin, further sealing their fate.

The law of the Champions League states that if you do not kill Real off when you have the opportunity there is every chance you will pay the price. And City have now broken that golden rule twice.

It would be harsh to criticise the Premier League champions’ performance, which was outstanding for so long, pinning Real back with a sustained assault in the second half that was eventually rewarded by Kevin De Bruyne’s 76th-minute equaliser to cancel out Rodrygo’s early strike.

Real were, literally in many instances, run to a standstill until blessed relief came in the shape of the final whistle and penalties.

And this will be the frustration for City and Guardiola, who thanked his players for their efforts but admitted he must wait to see what condition they are in after a gruelling evening on every level.

City’s players have shown resilience and staying power before but they will find the manner of their exit, and the loss of the giant trophy they won for the first time against Inter Milan in Istanbul last season, a bitter pill to swallow.

It will have taken a heavy mental and physical toll, Guardiola admitting De Bruyne and Erling Haaland told him they could not continue, the striker replaced by Julian Alvarez at the end of 90 minutes and the Belgian taken off during extra time.

Haaland suffered another tough night, being kept at arm’s length by Real’s battle-hardened defence apart from when he hit the bar with an early header. There is no shortage of effort from the Norwegian but he is not quite getting the chances he is accustomed to at present.

It was all in sharp contrast to Real , and England’s, golden boy Jude Bellingham on another landmark night in his young career.

This was a testing night for the 20-year-old who has taken Spain by storm this season, suffering just as much as his team-mates and City penned them back and ran them ragged, particularly in the second half.

Among this stress, Bellingham twice demonstrated exactly why he is marked down for greatness, even though he was never allowed to show himself at his best.

Bellingham displayed magnificent technique to pull a pass out of the sky in the build-up to Rodrygo’s goal then, accompanied by a cacophony of jeers from City’s fans, stepped forward to coolly slot home Real’s second penalty after Modric’s miss.

It came after Silva’s failure under pressure and shifted the momentum of the shootout back in Real’s favour.

Real go on, as they so often do, and few would bet against them claiming their 15th win in this tournament’s different guises as the European Cup and Champions League and giving Ancelotti his fifth triumph.

As for City, this will hurt badly but they must bounce back instantly. There is still much to play for.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says top goalscorer Erling Haaland and playmaker Kevin de Bruyne both asked to come off before his side were knocked out in the Champions League quarter-finals by Real Madrid on penalties.

Defender Manuel Akanji was the third player who needed replacing as a legacy of their recent injuries.

“They asked me to go out,” said Guardiola. “They could not continue.”

Haaland was replaced by Julian Alvarez, who scored his penalty, at the end of 90 minutes while De Bruyne, who netted City’s opening goal, came off in the first half of extra time.

The Belgian made way for Mateo Kovacic, whose effort was saved by Real goalkeeper Andriy Lunin.

The City boss offered no criticism of Kovacic or Bernardo Silva, who asked to take a penalty but sent a poor attempt straight at Lunin.

“Bernardo is a reliable player,” he said. “He wanted to take it. He decided to shoot in that way. It is what it is.”

City had 67% possession at the Etihad Stadium, 33 shots to eight and nine on target to Real Madrid’s three.

But it counted for nothing as City’s defence of the trophy they won so thrillingly against Inter Milan last June came to an end, at the same time as their hopes of an historic double Treble.

“Johan Cruyff said luck doesn’t exist, I agree with him,” said Guardiola.

“Losing like this hurts. We feel bad but we did everything. We have no regrets about what we have done.”

City have little time to pick themselves up given the face Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley on Saturday.

Guardiola knows this defeat will sting, even though Real are the tournament heavyweights and will now be favoured to go on and lift the trophy for a record 15th time at Wembley in June.

“We played exceptional in all departments but unfortunately we did not win,” he said.

“You hope to create more and concede less because it helps you to win but we didn’t convert the chances we had.

“To beat Real Madrid you have to be at your best. We were at our best but it was not enough.”

Mikel Arteta says he must show his Arsenal side “support and love” after Bayern Munich knocked them out of the Champions League.

It was a second successive defeat for Arsenal, who lost control of the Premier League title race last Sunday as Aston Villa beat them 2-0.

“I wish I had the right words to say to the players to make them feel better. What I am going to do – and all the coaching staff too – is to be close to the players.” Arteta said.

“I feel so grateful to be the coach and to work with them every single day.”

Arsenal were chasing a first Champions League semi-final spot since 2009, with Arteta accepting his team were inexperienced at this stage of the competition. This was their first quarter-final appearance since 2010.

“We haven’t played this competition for seven years and we haven’t been in this stage for 14 years,” he said. “There’s a reason for it.

“We want to do everything fast-forward, super-quick, in one season. I think we have the capacity and the quality to be in the semi-final because the margins are very small.

“Those margins are coming from something else that maybe we don’t have yet. We have to learn it.

“When you look historically, it took other clubs seven, eight or 10 years to do it. Today, that’s not going to make us feel better that’s for sure.”

The Gunners, who need City to drop points if they are to win the league for the first time since 2003-04, return to Premier League action at Wolves on Saturday.

“What I need to do is stand right next to them and give them support and our love and we have to pick it up because on Saturday we have a big, big game,” said Arteta.

“We are still playing for the Premier League. The Premier League is there and we really want it. We have to show now that we are capable of turning this around.”

Manchester City’s hold on the Champions League was wrestled away by Real Madrid as they were beaten on penalties in a dramatic quarter-final at Etihad Stadium.

It was the least City deserved for their almost total domination but a lack of the finishing touch cost them as Real, despite being exhausted and mounting a desperate rearguard action, held out for spot-kicks.

City looked on course to meet Bayern Munich in the semi-final when Luka Modric missed Real’s first penalty but Bernardo Silva’s dreadful effort and another from substitute Mateo Kovacic were saved by keeper Andriy Lunin, leaving former Chelsea defender Rudiger to step up and clinch victory for the great Champions League specialists.

It ended City’s bid for another Treble of Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup – and they must now recover from this gruelling encounter to defend the latter in the semi-final against Chelsea at Wembley on Saturday.

Rangers suffered a second blow to their Scottish Premiership title hopes within three days as they were held to a goalless draw away to Dundee.

Dundee thought they had taken an early lead through Amadou Bakayoko only for the striker to be ruled offside.

Rangers gradually exerted territorial pressure control, but Cyriel Dessers’ fine drive turned over the crossbar by goalkeeper Jon McCracken was the closest they came to securing a victory.

It means Rangers have now only won two of their latest eight games.

BBC Sport outlines the promotion and relegation issues – and the race for European qualification – in England and Scotland for 2023-24.

Premier League

There are also places in the Champions League group stage reserved for the winners of this season’s Champions League and Europa League, regardless of their domestic league positions.

The fifth-placed Premier League team will qualify for the Europa League group stage, along with the FA Cup winners. If the FA Cup winners have already qualified for the Champions League, that Europa place reverts to the league.

Because Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool can finish no lower than fifth, and at worst will qualify for the Europa League, the Europa Conference League place earned by Liverpool for winning the Carabao Cup will revert to the league.

If Aston Villa win the Europa Conference League but fail to reach the Champions League, they will qualify for the Europa League group stage.

The bottom three teams will be relegated to the Championship. The relegation picture may be complicated by Everton’s and Nottingham Forest’s appeals against their points deductions for breaches of Premier League profitability and sustainability rules (PSR).

Women’s Super League

The WSL champions and runners-up will enter the Champions League second round, with the third-placed team entering at the first round. Manchester City and Chelsea have made sure of their Champions League spots.

The bottom side will be relegated to the Women’s Championship. This is likely to be Bristol City – their relegation could be confirmed as early as this weekend.

Championship

The top two teams will be automatically promoted to the Premier League, with the next four entering a play-off. Automatic promotion is between Ipswich, Leicester, Leeds and Southampton, who are all assured of at least a play-off place.

The final promotion place will go to the winners of a play-off between Milton Keynes Dons and three other teams.

The bottom two teams will be relegated to the National League. Forest Green Rovers’ relegation was confirmed on 16 April after Colchester beat Grimsby 2-0.

National League

Chesterfield secured the title, and automatic promotion back to the EFL after six years away, by beating Boreham Wood 3-0 on 23 March.

A play-off for the second promotion place will be contested by Barnet, Bromley, Altrincham, Solihull Moors, Gateshead and one other team – one from Halifax, Southend, Aldershot or Oldham.

The bottom four teams will be relegated to National League North or South, and will be replaced with the champions and play-off winners of those two divisions.

Oxford City‘s relegation was confirmed when they lost 2-1 at AFC Fylde on 23 March, and they were joined on 13 April by Dorking Wanderers who drew 1-1 at Rochdale, and Kidderminster Harriers who lost 1-0 to Eastleigh.

The champions will enter the Champions League group stage, with the runners-up entering in the third qualifying round. Celtic are assured of a Champions League place, with Rangers close to joining them.

The Scottish Cup winners will enter the Europa League at the play-off round. If the cup winners finish in the top two, that Europa place reverts to the league.

The third-placed Premiership team will enter the Europa League at the second qualifying round, with the fourth-placed team entering the Europa Conference League at the second qualifying round.

The Premiership’s bottom club will be relegated to the Scottish Championship, while the 11th-placed team will enter a play-off with three Championship sides.

Scottish Championship

The champions – Dundee United or Raith Rovers – will be promoted to the Scottish Premiership. Whoever does not win the title will enter a play-off with two other Championship teams and the 11th-placed Premiership side.

Hibernian have said “results need to improve” after holding discussions with head coach Nick Montgomery.

Hibs finished fifth in the Premiership under Lee Johnson last term, with Montgomery appointed in September on a three-year deal.

“Ending the season in the bottom six is simply unacceptable,” the club said.

“Considerable progress has been made at the club off the pitch over the last 12 months. That being said, we want to assure supporters that on-pitch progress and performance are at the forefront of our minds. We understand that this needs to be addressed urgently.”

The Edinburgh side say a full review of the club’s football structure will be carried out in conjunction of Black Knight Football Club, the group that holds a 25% stake at Hibs.

West Ham boss David Moyes is hoping key forward Jarrod Bowen will be fit to return for Thursday’s Europa League quarter-final second leg against Bayer Leverkusen at London Stadium.

The England international, who has 19 goals in all competitions this season, returned to training on Wednesday.

“It was great to see Jarrod out there,” said Moyes.

“I would never risk a player if I thought they were injured but you always want your best players back in, your goalscorers as well, and Jarrod has been that this season.”

Moyes added that Bowen’s return would “give us and the crowd a real lift” as his side look to come from behind to reach a European semi-final for the second straight season.

The Hammers will, however, be without suspended midfielder Lucas Paqueta.

Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen team were crowned Bundesliga champions on Sunday and Moyes is hoping celebrations have taken their toll.

“To be the champions, you should celebrate, you should enjoy it because the moments go very quickly,” the West Ham manager said.

“I hope they’ve been downing those big giant glasses of beer they get in Germany!”

Alonso, however, said his side have remained in “control”.

“For sure it was a moment to enjoy it,” he said. “On Sunday we knew we had a chance so we took one day, in case of winning, to enjoy it.

“But from Tuesday our mind has been focused on West Ham. Now it’s the Europa League and we have a great chance to make a great season even better.”

Former Brazil striker Romario has come out of retirement aged 58 and registered to play for America Football Club alongside his son.

Romario said he would not play in the league, but wanted to feature in some games alongside his son Romarinho.

Romario played his last game in November 2009.

His career started in 1985 for Vasco de Gama before successful spells in the Netherlands with PSV and at Barcelona in Spain.

He retired in 2009, playing his final game for America FC, where his father Edevair played, before being elected senator for Rio de Janeiro in 2014.

He scored 55 goals in 70 games for Brazil, and was voted Fifa player of the year in 1994 after scoring five goals in their World Cup-winning campaign.
