Interestingly, this was only the second time in Real Madrid's history that they have scored first but gone behind at halftime in a European Cup or Champions League game. The previous instance was in March 1991 against Spartak Moscow.

Real Madrid's loss also marked a rare instance where they have failed to hold onto a lead in the Champions League. They had gone 37 games without defeat after scoring the opening goal, dating back to a match against Manchester City on February 26th, 2020.

The win for Manchester City was a significant boost to their Champions League campaign, and it highlights the team's resilience and ability to come from behind to secure victories.
