'Double treble my a*se!' - Rival fans delight as holders Man City see dream of repeating Champions League feat brutally ended by Real Madrid

City's hopes of holding on to their crown ended on Wednesday as they went down 4-3 to Los Blancos on penalties. The tie ended 4-4 on aggregate after a gruelling 120 minutes of action at the Etihad, but it was the 14-time champions who emerged triumphant in the end to secure yet another semi-final berth.

Rival fans took to social media immediately after the club's defeat to mock the Cityzens as their 'double treble' dream ended.

While some fans, including Chelsea's Conor Gallagher, hailed Real Madrid as 'football heritage'.

City star Erling Haaland had yet another forgettable outing in a big match and was subbed off after 90 minutes. A fan, on X, mocked the Norwegian for 'disappearing' yet again when it mattered.

One City fan was left furious as Bernardo Silva missed his spot-kick in a comical manner.

While they failed to defend their European trophy, the Cityzens can still salvage pride by defending their Premier League and the FA Cup crowns. After Arsenal and Liverpool faltered over the weekend in the league, Pep Guardiola's side are now leading the title race as they find themselves two points clear at the top of the table.

Guardiola's side will be next seen in action on Saturday as they take on Chelsea in a huge FA Cup semi-final fixture.
