Real Madrid’s 5-1 aggregate win over Manchester City felt like yet another brutal reminder of who really owns the Champions League stage. Trent Alexander-Arnold spoke to Prime Video Sport after the game, and admitted it was satisfying to get a win over Manchester City due to how many times he and Liverpool lost out to them in Premier League title races: “This is the most important stage of the season,” he said.

“It was nice to get one over Manchester City, they’ve snatched a few medals from me and Liverpool. He’s enabled me to play the way I can.” Madrid’s victory over City is set to earn them a blockbuster quarter‑final clash with Bayern Munich, with the German side taking a commanding 6-1 advantage over Atalanta into Wednesday night’s second leg.
