Shocking Stat Exposes Real Madrid's Struggle Against Manchester City

Match Recap

Real Madrid delivered one of their weakest attacking performances at home, losing 2-1 to Manchester City on Wednesday evening, in the sixth matchday of the group stage of the Champions League.

According to Opta's statistics, Real Madrid registered just one shot on target during the match, the worst tally for the Merengues in a Champions League game at the Bernabéu since at least the 2003-04 season, underscoring the attacking troubles that persisted throughout the full ninety minutes.

On the other hand, City manager Pep Guardiola continued to cement his historic edge over Real Madrid, sealing his 14th win in 28 meetings against the Spanish club across all competitions, with 7 draws and 7 defeats.

With this result, City moved to 13 points in fourth place, while Real Madrid stayed on 12 points in seventh.

City's sustained advantage over Madrid is evident in their head-to-head record across competitions, highlighting City's ongoing dominance in the rivalry.

Real Madrid's shooting was so rare that even the scoreboard whispered for a reload.

City's dominance is so pronounced that Pep's trophy cabinet could start charging Madrid rent for all the visits.
