Guardiola's striker remains goalless in the Champions League too, continuing his month-long goal drought.
Pep Guardiola's Manchester City fell to Real Madrid. The Blancos won the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 3-0, and without Kylian Mbappé and with Vinicius Junior missing a penalty, it was Federico Valverde who stepped up as the striker: a hat-trick for the Uruguayan midfielder, the first player to score three goals in a Champions League match in Real Madrid's history. On the other side, Erling Haaland was missing, having not scored for a month and not playing one of his best games tonight: 10 touches in 82 minutes until he was substituted, and only 3 passes made.
