• Atlético Madrid 2-1
Manchester City (3-2 agg)• Hosts reach Women’s
Champions League last eightManchester City’s third consecutive defeat was the most damaging, a loss that cut deep. Beaten by
Manchester United, beaten by
Arsenal, they were beaten by Atlético Madrid, knocked out of Europe by the same team that eliminated them last year. A late goal from Pauline Bremer set up a frantic final few minutes, but in the end a Steph Houghton own goal and a second from Ángela Sosa were enough to take Atlético through to the quarter-finals, 2-1 on the night, 3-2 on aggregate, and end the visitors’ European ambitions.
