Wednesday’s 2-1 defeat at the Bernabeu all but ensured the end of their Champions League campaign, as Bukayo Saka’s opener was cancelled out by Vinicius Junior’s equaliser before a Gabriel Martinelli strike in stoppage time sealed the deal.

The night’s encounter brought the aggregate score to 5-0, with the UCL holders having lost 3-0 in the first leg at the Emirates.
