Another defeat, another tournament gone, and another head-in-hands moment in the bemusing collapse of this iconic Manchester City team.
After a midweek mauling in Madrid, on Sunday they host Premier League leaders Liverpool and begin in the rare position of underdogs - already out of contention for the title and with 13 defeats in their past 26 games in all competitions.
By now the problems are almost too many to list.
An ageing and injury-hit squad are making uncharacteristic mistakes, waning confidence is leading to passive spells and the goal blitzes that follow, and key players are underperforming - in other words, all the issues on show as City froze at the Bernabeu on Wednesday.
