After a goalless draw in the first leg, Real took the lead in the 20th minute when Gareth Bale's cross deflected off Manchester City's Fernando.

  • Aguero has not managed a shot on target in his last 522 minutes of Champions League action.
  • Keylor Navas has kept 11 clean sheets in his 12 Champions League appearances, including all six at the Bernabeu.
