Man City Knocked Out of Women's Champions League by Atletico Madrid for Second Year in a Row

Manchester City saw their Women’s Champions League ambitions dashed by Atletico Madrid for the second time in successive seasons on Wednesday night, with the WSL side falling 3-2 on aggregate to the reigning Spanish champions.

In a last 16 tie that pitted Atletico’s England forward Toni Duggan against her old club, the first leg had ended 1-1 at the Academy Stadium in Manchester earlier this month.

Canada international Janine Beckie put City ahead in the tie in that one, only for Veronica Corral to cancel it out with a late away goal that handed the advantage to Atletico.
