Champions League Quarter-finals Update
Manchester, May 17, 2023 - Manchester City has emerged victorious in its UEFA Champions League quarter-final clash against Real Madrid, delivering a dominant performance that cements their status as one of Europe's most formidable teams.
Bernardo Silva stole the show in the first half, scoring twice to give City a commanding lead. The Portuguese midfielder's goals showcased his exceptional footwork and clinical finishing, leaving Real Madrid's defense bewildered.
