Rio Ferdinand reveals worrying trait he's never seen from Pep Guardiola's Man City before in Champions League collapse against Real Madrid

Rio Ferdinand claimed that Manchester City were 'tapping out' during their elimination from the Champions League against Real Madrid on Wednesday.

Pep Guardiola's men have failed to reach the round of 16 for the first time since he took over, as Kylian Mbappe netted a stunning hat-trick to lead Los Blancos to a 3-1 victory at Santiago Bernabeu.

City saw their hopes crash after the Frenchman gave the lead in the fourth minute of the game following a beautiful long ball from Madrid academy product Raul Asencio.
